Psalm 87
Psalm 87
He has founded his city on the holy mountain.
The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are said of you,
city of God:
“I will record Rahab and Babylon
among those who acknowledge me—
Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—
and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
“This one and that one were born in her,
and the Most High himself will establish her.”
The Lord will write in the register of the peoples:
“This one was born in Zion.”
As they make music they will sing,
“All my fountains are in you.”
We are His people.
In a world that is lost and broken, it is a beautiful thing to belong to Him. It is a wonderful thing to be loved by Him. It is a glorious thing to be still and abide in the Most High.
He is our foundation. He has established us. He has anointed us with His Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:21).
With each passing day, we must stand firm in these promises. We must glorify Him because we are His people. We must shout His love to the world because He has established us forevermore.
Let us hold tight to all of His promises. Let us be His people. Let us share His abundant grace and love with the world.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9
