David was glad when they said, “Let us go into the house of the Lord” (Psalm 122:1-4). There is where he would have fellowship with God as he praised Him. David’s soul would be stirred and strengthened. He would also receive encouragement from the others who joined him at the house of the Lord. Similarly, in the New Testament, the church is referred to as the “house of the Lord” (1 Timothy 3:15). When we assemble with the saints, it is a time to draw near to God and strengthen one another. The question is, do we value those times?
