Better is One Day

"Better is one day in your house than a thousand elsewhere."
David of the Bible wrote this line in poem to God.

A thousand days! That is almost three years.
Stuff I could do in three years:

  1. write a few books
  2. get a degree
  3. have 4 babies
  4. write a thousand daily blog posts
The limit is the limit of your imagination (and the time frame of 1000 days).

The other day I was speaking with some friends who commented that it must have been so very boring to be a shepherd, like David was. I'm not so sure. I think he spent every day with God, worshiping Him and writing those epic, intimate psalms. And he said just one of those days is better than a thousand anywhere else. What a strange concept to over-stimulated us!

Who is this God? Who is He that is better than a thousand days anywhere else? Who is He who lays claim like this to being so worth our time and attention? 

Who is this God?
