Looking For His City -- September 8, 2009

As we have heard, So we have seen In the city of the Lord of hosts, In the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, In the midst of Your temple. According to Your name, O God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
Psalm 48:8-10

By faith we see the things of God that we have heard about. It was by faith that the ancients along with us understood the universe was a created thing. It was by faith that Noah built the ark and saved all who came through him. It was by faith that Abraham looked out across time and saw the Lamb the Lord provided and in his faith he saw the city whose builder and maker was God. (Hebrews 11) Paul taught us that faith comes by hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

Have you heard? Have you seen? God’s kingdom is established forever. His love will minister to those who are in His kingdom forever. Let us hear that God has promised to build us a city that will stand forever. A place where His lovingkindness is always present. We will praise Him like it has already happened since He never goes back on His word. His word is as good as His name. We can count on Him because He is full of righteousness.

Lord, open my spiritual eyes. Show me what I am waiting for. Help me live like Your kingdom has come in its fullness. Fill my heart with praise by revealing Your love as I worship you. I worship You because of Your demonstration of righteous love. You are great throughout the earth. Let the Name of Jesus be raised everywhere so that all might hear and see.

I See His City,

Pastor Jason
