“Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool - arise, O Lord, and come to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. May your priests be clothed with righteousness; may your saints sing for joy.” - Psalm 132:7-9

I grew up on eastern Long Island, long before the rest of the world moved there. When we first moved to the area, our family attended a vast number of churches until we found the right one. I remember a wide variety of worship, ministers and people. But, what I remember best is the church where we settled; because it was there that I met Jesus.

Why is it so important to find the "right" church? What is it that makes a church "right"? I believe the psalmist answers these questions quite well. A right church is one where God dwells, His might is seen and He is worshipped. A right church is where the leadership serves the Lord with integrity and righteousness. A right church is where people sing to the Lord with joy in their hearts. A right church is where people come to meet Jesus at the footstool of the Cross.

Have you found the "right" church yet? Maybe you haven't found "church" yet. Take the time this week to find a church where God is worshipped, leaders are spiritual and people are joyful... find a church where you will meet Jesus.
