Citizens of God's City, Zion (Psalm 87, Part 1)

God graciously welcomes all to citizenship in Zion, His holy city. Zion is the seat of God’s special presence for the universal worship of God.

The Foundation of Zion (verses 1-3)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2087:1-3&version=NIV

God established Zion by His covenant relationship with Israel. Though omnipresent, God met His people particularly at Zion. From the time of David to the time of Christ, Jerusalem (Zion) was God’s special city. Christ founded the new Zion, the church. There God calls His people together for praise, prayer and hearing His Word. Through the church we approach God’s permanent residence, the scene of blessings.

Thank You, omnipresent God, for founding Your City, Zion, on the holy mountain. We worship together in Your church, speaking glorious things of you, city of God.
