Blessed is the man You choose, and cause to approach You, that he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, of Your holy temple. (Psalm 65:4, NKJV)
God chose David, a man after God’s own heart, to rule over His people Israel. David praised God for this rich blessing and the ability to come into God’s presence. David and his people were content, filled up with the blessings of approaching and serving God. Today, the church of Christ is the temple of God (Eph. 2:19-22). Like David, we ought to be satisfied by our spiritual blessings in Christ, which bring us into God’s presence and sustain us in His fellowship (1 Cor. 1:9; Eph. 1:3-4). Truly, God is good. And so, we do not complain about the church as Christ built it. Its worship, its organization, its work, its ethics and morality elicits our praise and honor of the Lord. Instead of attempting to innovate and improve upon God’s holy temple, be satisfied to be a living stone in His temple and offer God acceptable, spiritual sacrifices (1 Pet. 2:5).
