The Lord is There

Scripture:

 ““The distance around the entire city will be 6 miles. And from that day the name of the city will be ‘The Lord Is There.’ ””  Ezekiel‬ ‭48:35‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Ezekiel describes His city in this passage along with the description of where each tribe would have their boundaries and would stay.  In the last verse, the Lord says “from that day the name of the city will be ‘The Lord is There’”.  He named the city as the place He would be.

Application:

In the Old Covenant the Lord was in one place at one time.  The city referenced about was called “The Lord is There.”  Now the Lord lives inside each of His people and wherever we go, His presence is with us.  He is not contained within a city or a building, but in the hearts of His people.  When people come in contact with us, May they say, “The Lord is There” or “The Lord is with him.”  May it be recognizable in our churches that “The Lord is There.”  I want to world to encounter Christ in a real way and when they walk in our building I want them to say, “The Lord is Here.”

Prayer:

Father, let me reflect Your glory.  Help me to walk in step with Your Spirit and to yield completely to Your will.  Enable me to demonstrate Your goodness to the world around me.  Let people say, “The Lord is There” concerning our place of worship, my home, my heart, and my life.  Let Your presence increase in my life.  I want more of You in my life every day.  Fill me up till I overflow.  I want more of You!

Your Son,

Jeff
