Psalm 87 - Zion, The City of God, Psalm 88 - Look to God

 

Psalm 87 – Zion, The City of God.

 

That is where the government of the world will one day be. Zechariah 2:10-11 says, “Lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.”

The joy of the whole earth is mount Zion. When the Lord Jesus Christ is there, the world will come up to Jerusalem, and many nations will be converted. The King of kings will make Zion the capital of the earth.

Some people like to boast about the place of their birth, but the “once-born” do not have the blessing of the “twice-born”. Through faith in Christ, God’s children are enrolled in the heavenly Zion (Luke10:20); and will live with the Father forever.

 

Psalm 88- Look to God

 

Heman felt like a dead man buried in a dark pit. Like a drowning man sinking under cold waves and billows. Like a defiled man watching everybody run away and leave him alone. Most of all, he felt like a doomed man whom God had forsaken.

But Heman did not give up. Instead, he looked by faith to God, the God of wonders, loving-kindness, and faithfulness. He cried out to God and told Him just how he felt. Your feelings may change, but God never changes. You can trust Him even in the dark, even when you seem to be drowning.

God knows how you feel (Heb. 4:14-16) and is working out His purposes for you. The final verses of your story have not been written you, but God knows what they are, so wait for Him. They are worth waiting for!
