ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE HAS EATEN ME UP (2)

INTRODUCTION

“I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.’ (Psalm 122:1).

Anyone who loves the Lord must also love the house of the Lord.

This psalm was written by David, a king who had it all — a magnificent palace, power, wealth — but his joy lay not in any of these things, but in one thing alone: coming to the house of the Lord!

For David, the house of the Lord was not merely a building or a ritual, but the place where God’s presence dwells. He knew that there was strength, comfort, and fellowship with the living God.

CONTENTS

Loving the house of the Lord means:

  1. Loving His presence.

    The house of the Lord is where His people gather to worship, and the Lord delights to be present amidst the praise of His people (Psalm 22:3).

  2. Prioritizing worship, rather than seeing it as a burden.

    Those who love the house of the Lord do not come out of a sense of duty, but out of a longing (Psalm 27:4–6).

  3. Giving the very best to the house of the Lord.

    They support the ministry, the building, and the Lord’s work with a heart full of love. For they know that this is a holy place, where the name of the Lord is glorified.

    “Even them I will bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” (Isaiah 56:7).

CONCLUSION

Love the Lord and His House.
