Day 87.

Read Psalm 87 today.
What city did the Lord found?
How does the psalmist describe the city?
What does the Lord record?
 
The city of God is a place God establishes and dwells in with his people.

As you reflect on this, pray in these ways and any other way the Holy Spirit leads.
For the flourishing of the gospel, that all people might come to know God, and dwell with him now and forever.
That we would confess any prejudices against those we believe cannot enter into relationship with God.
For our lives to reflect, here on earth, the wholeness, peace, and equality that will be in that city.
 
Fountains of Delight
A prophetic song composed by the prophetic singers of Korah’s clan
 
1High upon his hills of holiness stands God’s city. 
2How God loves the gates of Zion, his favorite place on earth. 
3So many glorious things have been proclaimed
over Zion, God’s holy city!
 
Pause in his presence
 
4For the Lord says, “Here are the nations
who will acknowledge me as God: 
Egypt, Iraq, and the Mediterranean people, 
even distant Ethiopia.
They will all boast, ‘I was born in Zion!’ ”
5But over Zion it will be said,
“The mighty Man was born there, and he will establish it.” 
For the God Most High will truly bless Jerusalem.
6And when he counts her citizens, recording them in his registry,
he will write by their names: “This one was born again here!”
 
Pause in his presence
 
7And the princes of God’s feasts will sing and dance, singing,
“Every fountain of delight springs up from your life within me!”
