MAY 13
LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

Scripture:  Psalm 122:1 “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
   
     The Psalmist here is expressing joy for the very thought of going to the House of the Lord.  Most people don’t seem to get very excited about Church or church attendance anymore.  The thought of having to go to Church, to many, seems to be a punishment rather than a blessing.  The Psalmist was glad to get to go and he was excited that someone even mentioned going!
     “I went down to the house of God and oh the joy I felt.  His presence was so near as on my knees there I knelt.  I lingered there for a while, it seemed I felt His touch.  Tears filled my eyes, how could He love me this much? I went down to the house of God, the singing was so grand.  They sang the songs of a heavenly home, sweet Beulah land.  By faith I saw that heavenly land and felt as if I was there, I rejoiced at such a precious hope, of a land without a care.  I went down to the house of God, the preacher stood to preach. Something seem to tell me He didn’t come to give a speech.  His Bible opened to John 3:16, he preached about God’s love.  He preached about Calvary and the power fell from above.  I went down to the house of God and how the people did shout.  I joined in their praises for the Lord had taken away my doubt.  His presence filled my heart, I praised Him for His grace. Down at the house of God, His glory had filled that place.”
    How about you today?  What does Church mean to you?  The Bible tells us that Jesus “loved the church and gave himself for it”.  If He love the Church so much, don’t you think that those who are saved by His grace ought to love it too?
