Psalms 84-86
The Psalmist would rather spend one day in the courts of the Lord, than a thousand elsewhere... rather be a gatekeeper in God's house than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. Conceptually, he is saying that the scraps from God's table are better than the choicest morsels from the banquet table of the wicked. At the conceptual level it is easy to say "Me too," but in practice it is much harder to follow through. The practical outworking of this desire must begin with vision of the possibilities of living in God's shadow, then following up with a true intention to shun evil in favor of righteousness, and then the means of making it happen will be brought before us. Do we have the same desires?
