Day 114: The Sweet Redemption of the Sons of Korah (Psalm 84)
The sons of Korah came from a legacy of privilege, pressure, and rebellion—but their story didn’t end in judgment. Generations later, they were still serving in God’s house, not with resentment, but with joy. Psalm 84 shows us the beauty of a heart that has learned to trade comparison for contentment and pride for praise.
