Psalms
Psalm 84:3d "My King and my God."
Day 244 – Psalm 84
“My King and my God.” Psalm 84:3d
AWED OBSERVATION
How would one respond to the idea of the sparrow and the swallow making a nest for their young in the glorious gold temple? This was what the psalmist observed.
1. The sparrows and the swallows
a) They cannot be compared to the mighty eagles.
b) They were just about the smallest and the humblest creatures in the kingdom of the birds.
2. “Found a home… a nest”
a) For themselves.
b) For their young.
c) In the altars of the temple! (Psalm 84:3c)
d) These humble birds had found a sanctuary, a safe home for themselves in God’s temple!
AWED APPRECIATION
What was the temple to Israel? What was the tabernacle of the Lord to the sons of Korah?
“Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young-
Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
My King and my God.”
Psalm 84:3
