“By Your favor do good to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.” (Psalm 51:18-19)
Zion, the place for the redeemed, the place of hope and eternity, the new Jerusalem. Zion is for those who come through salvation to live in the relationship eternally given by God through the means of salvation He has made possible through Christ. Come then into the rest, even amidst the struggles of this age. Come and make your sacrifices to the Lord who sees and knows the hearts of all.
Lord, You have offered the way of hope for those who turn to You. Guide me in this path that I would walk where You have shown the way and live according to Your purposes. Help me overcome all the difficulties of this world by trusting in You. Help me keep my heart on the path of Your leading that I would walk in the ways You have established from the beginning.
Lord Jesus, King of Zion, by Your grace, You open the way for all those who come by faith. You make the first and final sacrifice by Your own blood to free us to come as we are through You into citizenship in Zion. Lead me by the grace You offer to live my life toward You, with You and in You that I may being the eternal life now that shall be lived forever. Amen.
