Please read Psalm 65.

Meditate on verse 4a.
How blessed is the one whom You choose and
bring near to You.
God choosing
to draw people near to Him is a powerful reoccurring theme in the Bible. In
this psalm, David reflected on the satisfaction of being with God. Being in awe
of God, he wrote this beautiful thirteen-verse praise to the LORD.
As you pray
these verses of praise to God (vs. 1-13), enjoy the fellowship of His presence.
“There
will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, O God,
and to
You the vow will be performed. O You who hear prayer, to You all men come.
Iniquities prevail against me; as for our transgressions, You forgive them. How
blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You to dwell in Your
courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.
By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation. You
who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; who
establishes the mountains by His strength, being girded with might; who stills
the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves and the tumult of the
peoples. They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. You visit the earth and cause it
to overflow; You greatly enrich it. The stream of God is full of water; You
prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth. You water its furrows
abundantly; You settle its ridges; You soften it with showers; You bless its
growth. You have crowned the year with Your bounty, and Your paths drip with
fatness. The pastures of the wilderness drip, and the hills gird themselves
with rejoicing.
The
meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered with grain;
they
shout for joy, yes, they sing.”
