Jerusalem.

The Psalmist called it “The joy of the whole earth.” Many songs have been written about it. It will be the location of the last great battle where the Lord will overcome His enemies and set up His earthly Kingdom.

Do its present inhabitants know what’s coming? We do when we read God’s Word. It’s the city of the great King. We watch with anticipation to see how soon Christ will come again.

PRAYER: Father, we say, “Even so, Lord Jesus, come.” Lord, we are anxious for Your return. Grace us and stir us to reach out in love to those who still need to hear about Your plan for their lives. We want to be fruitful until You return.
