City of God
Scripture Psalms 87:3 Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God!
Observation: Oh, to live in the city of God, what a wonderful place that would be. In this Psalm they are talking about Zion, but today there is no city of God on this Earth, men have destroyed God in their cities. Yet there is a city of God coming and it will come from the Heavens when Christ returns and that is the city we will be heading to. Each Christian knows how to get there and we are called to invite the people that we are surrounded with. So, no matter where we might live now, we should be journeying to the city of God.
Application: I should be living my life for my new home and not accumulating things here. I don’t feel comfortable here because this is not where I belong. I need to tell others about this City and help guide them there as my Lord commands me to do. There is plenty of room and I’ll be homesick until I get there. I need to stay on the path so I get home safely.
Prayer: My Lord and my God bring me home to your city. Walk me on the road to you each day and help me not stray off the path, but guide me each day. I’m so homesick and want to be with you forever. I love you Father help me to get home.
