Better is One Day

I am finding that through my relationship with Christ...just two months with him is better than almost 33 years without. I am not saying I haven't "tried" to be a Christian in 33 years...but I haven't given it my all. I haven't given it the very best that I could.

In the last couple of months...things are changing. My perspective. My drive. My outlook. My relationships. My attitude. My gratitude. My grace. My understanding. My patience. Are they all perfect...uhmmmm NO. But are they better? Yep. I am sure of it.

One of my favorite praise band songs...back up...I used to sing in our church praise band. LOVED IT. God blessed us unexpectedly with our little man Brady and that came to a screeching halt...moving forward...one of my favorite songs was Better is One Day. Yep...you guessed it. Already added it to the playlist. Little did I know when I was singing it, that it came from scripture. You see...I know very little about the bible. I am learning...but, up to this point...I knew very little. In fact, most of the songs that I LOVE LOVE LOVE...come from scripture! Which comes from God...ooooo...I love where this is going.

Psalms 84:1

How lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
My soul yearns, even faints for you
for in the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out for the Living God

The song...

How lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
for my soul wants and even faints for you
Oh, here my heart
Is satisfied within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of
Your wings

Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts than
thousands elsewhere


Okay Lord...I give you my one day. And then I'll give you the next. Because I love what you are doing in my life. I love what you are doing in my husband's life. I love what you are doing for my family and friends...and for complete strangers. AND I LOVE YOU LORD. I believe that one day in your house is better than a thousand elsewhere...just one day. Give him one day.

My heart and flesh cry out
To You, the Living God
Your Spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted, and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to You
To You

Better is one day...just one.


Have a blessed Sunday!
