Zion was the fortress that David lived in. He speaks often of the security it provided to him and his family, yet he ultimately pointed to God’s presence as his true source of protection.

In March, I hope to stand on the streets of Zion and peruse what I can of David’s city. As exciting as that will be, it is just a geographic location. David knew his place of refuge was in the shelter of God’s wings. You and I can find that place of refuge anywhere in the world … as we call upon the saving name of Jesus.

PRAYER: Lord, Your presence overwhelms us and provides all we need. In Your presence is fullness of joy, and at Your right hand, pleasures forevermore.
