住在神的同在里！39/365

住在神的同在里！39/365

诗篇 87:1-3, 5-7 CUNPSS-神

“耶和华所立的根基在圣山上。 他爱 锡安 的门， 胜于爱 雅各 一切的住处。 神的城啊， 有荣耀的事乃指着你说的。 （细拉）

论到 锡安 ，必说： 这一个、那一个都生在其中， 而且至高者必亲自坚立这城。 当耶和华记录万民的时候， 他要点出这一个生在那里。 （细拉） 歌唱的，跳舞的，都 要说 ： 我的泉源都在你里面。”

反思

属于神的人就能享受神的同在！锡安山是代表天堂的圣城！诗人知道这就是和别的城市不一样的地方！这是神显明自己的荣耀，彰显祂大能的地方！所以，让属神的人歌唱、跳舞！因为，能在神的同在里就能真正体验到安息！所以，属于神的百姓就能要受祂的同在！

1）神的城市！

锡安就是神的城市！锡安本来是大卫王设立城堡的地方。也可以算是所罗门建圣殿的地方！可是，当圣殿和圣地被摧毁，以色列所向往的锡安已经成为一个神同在的圣城！这就是神在的地方！

2）神的百姓！

有城市就会有百姓！以色列要复国，可是神要建立的是天国！唯有在基督里的人才能真正成为神的子民！所以，神的百姓不只是以色列，而是凡信耶稣是主的才是神的百姓！

3）神的同在！

神的殿不在，神的同在任然可以显明在我们身上。求主帮助我们体验神的同在，经历他的大能！不要忘了神居住在我们内心深处！我们带着神同在，就是显明祂荣耀的器皿和圣殿！

祷告

主啊！谢谢祢提醒孩子要享受祢的同在。保守孩子的时间，让我活着就是为了祢！奉耶稣是的名，阿们！

同在, 诗篇, 锡安

Enjoy your rights as citizens of Heaven

Psalms 87:1, 5, 6 NLT

On the holy mountain stands the city founded by the LORD.

Regarding Jerusalem it will be said, “Everyone enjoys the rights of citizenship there.” And the Most High will personally bless this city. When the LORD registers the nations, he will say, “They have all become citizens of Jerusalem.”

But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. (Philippians 3:20 NLT)

Reflection

Here is a song about Jerusalem , the city of David, the city of God! As Israel enjoy the rights of citizenship to Jerusalem, a city where God dwells and bless, Paul reminded believers about our citizenship in heaven! Those who are in Christ Jesus have the full rights of citizenship and can enjoy them! So often, Christians forgot their citizenship and live only for the temporal and not the eternal. We tend to live life striving for what we can get rather than what we can give. Winston Churchill said, “ You make a living from what you get but you make a life from what you give” . Enjoy the abundance of this life but live with a mindset of eternity in heaven. God did not save us for the temporal things on earth but for the eternal things in heaven! Live on earth with a heavenly citizenship. Live on earth with a sonship of God. Live for the glory of God and enjoy the blessings from Him!

Prayer

Lord, thank You for reminding me of the rights I have in You! I can give more and make an impact more because of who I am rather than what I have. For my citizenship is in heaven, my resources come from You and my backing is You!Help me not to be clouded and choked by the burdens of this life but Keep my heart focus on You! Let me live for the eternal and not the temporal. Bless my bros n sis to remember their citizenship in heaven so that their vision is not blurred by the world. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
