Psalms 84:7. They go from strength to strength,
They get stronger as they proceed on their happy, heavenward way. The men who love God, and who live with God, grow stronger and stronger ;
- not always in body, for the flesh may be growing weaker while "the inward man is renewed day by day." "They go from strength to strength," or, as it is in the margin, "They go from company to company," from the company of mourners to the company of hopers; from the company of hopers to the company of believers; from the company of the men and women of feeble faith to the company of those who rejoice in full assurance.
Psalms 84:7. Every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
That is the glory of going to God’s house, that we go there to appear before God, to spread our wants before him, to confess our sin to him, to sun our souls in the light of his countenance. It is little for us to appear before our fellow men, but to appear before God is a blessed prelude to that day "when he shall appear," and "we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
