This makes me think of the song we used to sing so much that I got super sick of it.
“Where would I rather be on this beautiful day than in the house of God to sing and pray?!”

Usually we interpret the “house of God” to mean church, and “sing and pray” we take literally. But today I’m thinking that the “house of God” is wherever I am living for Him. If it’s just living my normal Christian Life, or teaching or helping needy people, or taking care of rejected, neglected children. If we are serving Him where He wants us to be then we are in the “house of God on this beautiful day.” Singing and praying can still be taken literally because that’s what we do on a daily, even hourly basis. But it can also be our other actions. Maybe it was the meal that was cooked, or the hug that was given, or the wave that was waved, or the word that was said. In a sense we are singing and praying to God if we do these things how God wants us to.
“God’s spirit hovering, so divinely pure, around His chosen ones who are gathered there”.
