Verse of the Day 10/15
Ezekiel 48:35 The distance around the city shall be 18,000 [4 x 4,500] measures; and the name of the city from that day and ever after shall be, the lord is there. Amplified Bible (AMP)
Through the ages, cities have been known for different things Sodom and Gomorrah became known for debauchery and sin and they were destroyed. Jericho with its high walls stood in opposition to God and the walls came down. Today cities still have reputations. LasVegas is still referred to by some as "sin city"
There may be cities that we've traveled to where we might want to live some day, if only for a season or a year or two. We may dream of doing so. But here on this earth the cities won't last forever and we won't live in any one place on this earth forever. A lot of fairy tales end with the saying "and they lived happily ever after". For the Christian, there will be a "happily ever after", it will be in a city that God has prepared for us and the joy and the glory of it is that, YAWEH, THE LORD IS THERE, and will be there forever. We won't be disappointed.
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
Under the shadow of thy throne,
still may we dwell secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting, thou art God,
to endless years the same.
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home.

sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.

O God, our help in ages past,

Psalm 18:1-2 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. English Standard Version (ESV)

The Message (MSG)
34 "On the west side, measuring 2,250 yards, three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, the gate of Naphtali.
35 "The four sides of the city measure to a total of nearly six miles.
"From now on the name of the city will be Yahweh-Shammah:
"God-Is-There."
