Delighted

"I was happy when they said to me, Let's go to the Lord's house," Psalm 122:1.

Dear God, we stand inside the gates of your city - the home where friends can come together. We're here from every tribe - every tribe belongs to you, O God! We're here just as purposed to give thanks to your Name - to give You thanksgivings. Thrones for your wisdom's decrees sit here - prophetic thrones from ancient days. We pray for the peace of your city - we who love you rest secure in it. Peace lives within your city's walls, O God - security abides within its watchtowers. We crave for the peace of our friends and families living within it - because of your home's safety, O Jehovah God, we pursue your good.

As we plan to visit with a brother or sister today, we're delighted to meet together safely within God's community. We're God's family. And, together, we give thanks through our Father's son, Jesus, who made us so.
