“Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. Selah. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the ways of them.”
Psalm 84:4-5 KJV
The sons of Korah wrote this psalm, “What pleasure fills those who live every day in Your temple, enjoying You as they worship in Your Presence! Pause in His Presence. How enriched are they who find their strength in the Lord; within their hearts are the highways of holiness!” The power of God through worship was evident in the old covenant worship. Now in the new covenant, through the finished work of the Cross, God in His munificent wisdom has made us who believe in Christ, the Temple of the Holy Spirit. His Presence is in us. His strength is in us. His wisdom is in us. His power is in us. Everything that He is, is in us. His purpose is for us to co-labour with Him. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. This is how we co-labour with Him for the restoration of all things. Amen!
