The Daily Walk | 09.04.2026 | Pastor Mike Gibbons | Psalm 84:10

Good morning, First Baptist Wimberly.

This is Mike Gibbons.

Welcome to Friday.

I don't know about you, but I have been really enjoying this one gathering.

It is so good to see everyone together.

It encourages me and it makes me look forward even more to getting together on Sunday morning.

As Psalm 122.

I only got to stay a couple of days and had to leave on Saturday.

Over lunch, that Saturday, I reminded her that I would be leaving in a couple of hours.

She replied, Pops, you are going to miss the best day of the week.

I said, Really?

Izzy, what is the best day of the week?

Her reply really touched and convicted me.

She said, The best day of the week is Sunday because we get to learn even more about Jesus.

Now, her parents are doing a good job of raising their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

She wasn't saying that she wasn't learning about Jesus only on Sunday.

She learns about Jesus throughout the week.

What she was saying was that she was genuinely excited to participate in the fellowship of believers, worshiping together around the throne of grace in their local assembly.

As Psalm 84, 10 says, For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

So I'm checking my heart this week and asking, is there somewhere else I would rather be than with my church family on Sunday?

Do I really think there are better days elsewhere than one day in the court of our Lord?

This is Mike Gibbons, and I love being your pastor.
