Psalm 87:1-7
‘Glorious
things are said of you, O city of God… The Lord will write in the
register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion”. As they make music
they will sing, “All my fountains are in You”’(Psalm 87:3,6-7). We
thank You, Lord, that the ‘city of God’ is our glorious destination –
‘we are looking for the city that is to come’, ‘the Holy City’(Hebrews
13:14; Revelation 21:2). It is also the place of our heavenly birth –
‘This one was born in Zion’. The heavenly birth – This is where our
journey to the ‘city of God’ begins: ‘No one can see the Kingdom of God
without being born from above’(John 3:3). Between our heavenly birth and
our glorious destination, there is life in the Spirit: As we journey
with You, in this life in the Spirit, may we thank You for the words of
the Psalmist - ‘All my fountains are in You’ – and the promise of
Jesus: ‘Rivers of living water shall flow from the heart of anyone who
believes in Me’(John 7:38).
