Ps 48:1-3
"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion in the far north, the city of the great King. God, in her palaces, has made Himself known as a stronghold."

Those who do not know the Lord can only see this as a fairy tale. It is so hard to imagine that this will one day be a reality. Yet, if I believe the Word of God is truly the Word of God then I know this is a truth that will one day be true.

God will one day have His city the New Jerusalem and He will dwell there and it will be more beautiful than anything anyone has every seen. The city will be on His holy mountain and the elevation of it will be so beautiful for all to see. It will be the joy of the whole earth.

Not only will it be beautiful but it will be a stronghold where no evil will dwell and where no evil can touch anyone or anything. A place of perfect security and perfect peace. It will truly be amazing.

Just thinking about this place makes me long for the day when it will be true. Yet in the meantime there is much work to do so in sharing the gospel of Christ with all those around me. There are many lost and God has me here to be a light and a voice to those are in bondage to evil and resisting the love of God. Lord, work through me to bring You honor and glory.
