The Blessing of His Courts

Thursday, August 12, 2021

Psalm 65:4 says, "Blessed is the man you choose and bring near to dwell in your courts," In Hebrew, the word blessed is really the word asher. Asher doesn't just mean blessed, it also means happy or joyful. The Bible is telling you how to be joyful. What's the secret? Those who are asher, happy or joyful, dwell in the courts of God, in His presence. You see, happiness doesn't come from material things. You can have everything in the world and still be empty and miserable. But you can't dwell in the presence of God and be empty or miserable because the presence of God fills all things. Moses dwelt in God's presence and came down the mountain glowing; he glowed so much he had to cover his face. So if you want to glow spiritually, you need to be in God's presence. The more time you spend in God's presence, the greater the glow. Spend more time with God, in His presence, and your life will be full. For blessed, asher, happy, and joyful is the man chosen and brought near to dwell in the courts of the Lord. rn
