Every Season: A Study in Psalms   


Title: Joy in the Journey (Psalm 84) 

Dr. Jason Hall - Adult Ministry Pastor


Scripture Passage: Psalm 84


The superscription: To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts!

2 My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.

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.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise! Selah

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6 As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah

9 Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!

10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.

12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!


Main Idea: We live with joy because God in Christ is our eternal home, now and forever.

  1. We have joy when we long for God’s presence.
  2. We have joy when we walk with God’s power.
  3. We have joy when we delight in God’s provision

Weekly Prayer Prompts: 

Praying Scripture will help build a more focused and creative prayer life. Read the Scripture text slowly and carefully. As you read, pray as the Lord brings prayers to your mind, and you can use these prompts if you get stuck or need more ideas. The point is to practice prayer, so even if you don’t pray through the whole list, just doing it is a success!


Psalm 84

  • Ask the Lord to give you a deep and abiding desire to live in His love.
  • Ask God to satisfy your longings with his love.
  • Praise the Lord for sustaining you in the ups and downs of life.
  • Ask God to protect you from spiritual attack and keep you coming to Him for peace.
  • Thank God his blessings are worth more than anything this world could offer.
