This video is about 260830 Psalm 84
That's an interesting habit our children have, especially when they come back from a holiday.
They'll go to each room, find their favorite things, and kiss them.
It's quite random.
They'll go and kiss the bed, kiss the telly, and quite often we wonder why it is, and they say, this is about being home.
There's something about coming back home.
It's the identity, it's the place they call home, and the place they feel comfortable.
Now, we might have been in a holiday, enjoying lovely breakfast, sunshines, whatever it is, but when they come home, that's one of the things they do.
Now, the Psalm itself was written to the chief musician on the instrument of Gath.
Now in modern language, if you didn't follow that, it's like the band of the church.
That's what they were.
And those group of people are the ones who wrote the psalm.
Now Charles Spurgeon, one of the famous theologians, said this Psalm, Psalm 84, should be called the pearl of Psalms.
It's a song of longing, worship, and joy.
That is a deep desire to be in the presence of God.
And today, people search this desire of contentment in different places, isn't it? We search for happiness in success, in possessions, in relationships.
in sport, in entertainment.
So this morning I would like to explore three main themes of this psalm.
Three main themes.
Number one, the desire to be in God's presence.
Number two, strength found in God's presence.
