Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 84

"Psalm 84:

“Baca” (verse 6), appears to refer to a shrub that grows in arid places and thus points to the hardships endured by the pilgrim on his way to the Holy city.
The pilgrim focuses his attention especially on the thought of being in the very presence of the LORD God.

I. The Expectation of Worshiping God (84:1-4).
II. The Expedition to Worship God (84:5-7).
III. The Elation at Worshiping God (84:8-12).

Psalm 84:1 How amiable [are] Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
Amiable, in the verse above, means loved or well-beloved.
When the people could go to the tabernacle, it was a point of contact with Almighty God.

Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith He, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Psalm 84:6 [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

Psalm 84:10 For a day in Thy courts [is] better than a thousand. 

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, 

than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."
