Today's reading from Psalm 84 begins with this verse: "My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God." While I yearn to go to the LORD, I wonder if I have the right motivation. I truly love God, which is a good reason. However, if my yearning stems merely from being sick and tired of this mundane world, that would reveal impatience and a desire to escape my earthly obligations. The right attitude is to remain patient and faithful in this world for as long as the Lord desires, all while continuing to yearn for him. Doing so will make my joy greater than ever on that day.
