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.  Psalms 84:10

The least good look that a man hath from God, and the least good word that a man hears from God, and the least love letter and love token that a man receives from God, is exceedingly precious to that man that hath God for his portion.  “One day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.”  He doth not say, One year in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere, but One day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere; nor doth he say, One quarter of a year in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere, but “One day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere;” nor doth he say, One month is better than a thousand elsewhere, but “One day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere,” to shew that the very least of God is exceeding precious to a gracious soul that hath God for his portion.
