Being Away
Being a Pastor can be tough.
We are professional christians who only work one day a week.
You get a call sometimes across the country from where you grew up.
My first call was to Georgia and now I’m here.
It’s a 27 hour drive to visit family, and even thats hard because we work holidays.
We are like the opposite of a government employee.
So its been over 10 years since I celebrated Christmas with the rest of the family.
Grandma passed 5 years ago and my uncle’s family moved to Australia 8 years ago so its gotten a little easier knowing its not like it was when I was growing up.
But I still miss grandma’s homemade cinnamon roles and I miss the games we would play, skating on the Wapsie river.
the laughing and the fun.
Usually a few days before Christmas with the pressure of all the services, it hits and I long to be walking into the house and see everyone there.
This is a little bit of the tone in which this psalm is written.
To be away, to not be able to see that familiar place and experience all the love, the joy and the peace that comes with being home.
Where your story began.
Absence of the Lord
A deep yearning from the heart, to be back in the presence of God.
To walk in the courts of his house to practice the sacrifice and know you have here love, joy, and peace.
Paul talks about this not in view of the temple but the presence of Jesus.
To be with Jesus where he is.
He sees the bigger picture unfolding and realizes that this entire journey through our mortal lives is absent from the full presence of being with the Lord.
In his glory.
Sin entangles
I’ve felt this deep desire when I am going through a season of particular sin.
Habitual.
When my decisions are separating me from everyone I hold dear.
To feel lost and out of control like I’m losing myself in the process.
Feeling a sense of losing everything, helpless with no way out.
Presence of the Lord
A lot of times you may feel like life is hopeless, but here.
In the house of the Lord you know there is help in times of need and a place for you, so you are never lost.
And that sense of belonging, brings a joy that bursts out in song.
For great is the host of this home.
Notre Dame: to know its burned down, and it will never be the same again.
Next summer to go to Jerusalem and see that gold dome, and know there is no way to walk into the colonnade to see where outsiders would congregate to offer sacrifice and practice worship.
To see where God’s people would offer sacrifice and the Levites, Aaronites, and Zadokites would practice obedience to God’s Law.
But it wont be there.
but we are not without hope.
Jesus is where we meet God.
