Psalm 84:10
For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
This phrase emphasizes the supreme value and joy found in the presence of God.

from the Biblehub
The "courts" refer to the temple courts in Jerusalem, a place where God's presence was uniquely manifested. The psalmist expresses a deep longing for communion with God, valuing a single day in His presence over a thousand days spent elsewhere.

This reflects the biblical theme of God's presence being the ultimate source of joy and fulfillment, as seen in other scriptures like Psalm 16:11, which speaks of the fullness of joy in God's presence.

The courts of the temple symbolize access to God, and this longing prefigures the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ, who provides believers with direct access to God (Hebrews 10:19-22).

Lord, we continue praying for our righteous leadership, especially in view of the godless enemies arrayed against the policies of the POTUS. Bring into the orbit of the President those godfearing souls who would provide a timely word and wise bit of advice. Keep him under divine protection.

In these days of apostasy we ask that you provide the "household of faith" pastors who are equipped to handle and teach the Word of God for a Laodecean spirit has overtaken us.
And so we ask in Jesus's name.
