Psalm 84:10
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Hi everyone. It’s Tania, and welcome to the Moms for Christ podcast. I was going through my daughter's notebook and I saw a drawing she had done, and it was a drawing of the sanctuary in our church. And she drew it because she loves to be in the sanctuary so much, and she drew it for the times when she's not able to be in the sanctuary to still be able to look at it and remember, and it was just such a sweet drawing.
You know, it reminds me of a Word that the Lord has been speaking this week, and it comes from the Book of Psalms chapter 84, verse 10. And it says, “Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.” This verse is speaking of a person that has come to the understanding that they would rather be in the Lord's house than in the world. They would rather take a lowly position that would be a doorkeeper and what the world would call a lowly position, than to take a high position in the house of the wicked. That to be near the Lord, for even a moment, is better than eternity anywhere else.
"And we teach our children about the gift of being in the Lord's house" I remember the first time the Lord spoke this Word into my heart. It was a time of trial. I was feeling as though I didn't have a place or a position in this house. And the Lord, in His mercy, spoke these words into my heart, and it hit something inside of me to say, ‘Okay Lord, I don't need a position, I need You. I need to be in Your house. And any way to be in Your house is better than to have all the status in the world in the house of the wicked.’ And we teach our children about the gift of being in the Lord's house, and that it's not something to take lightly, but it's something to treasure - and whatever God uses you for, it's a gift from the Lord because He gives you the opportunity to be in His house.
"...my prayer is that our children would truly come to understand that to serve in the Lord's house - to dwell in the Lord's house - is better than anything that the world would tell them, is better than anything that the world has to offer because it's truly only in the Lord's house that the truth is found." You know, the world is an illusion, and the world will try to say that to have the status, or that everything that you think you want in this world is in the tents of the wicked. But, in the Lord's house, that's where truth is found. In that truth, there is freedom in the Lord. And so, I'm just so grateful that the Lord has called us to b...
