Psalms 122:1-9
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."
2 And now we are standing here inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is a well-built city, knit together as a single unit.
4 All the people of Israel—the LORD's people— make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD as the law requires.
5 Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.
7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you."
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.

Wow, I just realized I didn’t send this, this morning!
Happy Resurrection Eve.
Were you ever glad to have gone to God’s house?
Is God’s House and your house the same house?
Is your house God’s house also? The one you live at, or the one you just visit?
Are you God’s earthly temple, His house of prayer?
Does going to or being at or being God’s house make you glad?
It makes God glad for sure, for sure.
Jerusalem means place of peace.
Are you at peace?
With yourself?
With others, and with God?
All the way or some of the way or any of the way?
Jerusalem, is the place of peace.
We’re standing there, inside of the place of the gates of peace.
The people who are at peace assemble together, they get together and stay together, they work and live together under the same purposes that they are serving and their so tightly joined, that they appear to be as one man.
The One man, Jesus, who’s body they are.
That place, unity, is a good place to go.
Why would I become a part of this, peacemaking venture? Why would I care to associate with this?
Why would I promote her purposes and pray that they come to pass, nurturing her and bring her into a place protected?
It is what pleases God.
We, together, unified, please God.
Come, let US go to the house of the Lord, for it is the Lord’s Day Today!
