How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young–
a place near your altar,
O Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Psalm 84:1-4 (NIV)
If you like it, your friends will, too. Tell them:

I love the lord, each of our hairs are numbered….. 🙂
Yeh. And that’s not the same as counted, like I have 5,839,201 strands of hair. Rather, it is that the one that fell out and stuck to my shirt was #5,839,202, before it fell out. And yet, the same Lord can contain a nuclear meltdown, as we all pray He will.
