Psalm 84:3
3 Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.
Ever feel like you don’t belong, like you got in by mistake? I’m sure medical students want awed patients to call them Dr., but I bet they also feel a little inadequate to answer difficult, life-or-death questions. I know people dream of having children, but most parents are sure they don’t know what they’re doing. Imposter syndrome can hurt the Christian too. How can we say we, with all our sin, are God’s children? That we, made dirty by disobedience and rebellion, belong in His House?
The verse above describes the heart of God as the perfect host. Even the little swallow or sparrow has a special designated place for even the delicate task of raising young. That little swallow is provided for by the LORD, or Yahweh the self-existent Lord of Angelic Armies. In other words, though God is so high above us, He is able to make a place for you right by Himself. Jesus, who died to make you clean, has gone to prepare that place. Let yourself praise God for His perfectly tailored care of your eternal life with Him!
Prayer Prompt: Lord, my soul longs to be with You forever. Please preach the gospel to me so I will desire You and trust Your ability to declare me clean!
