“God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.  His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion.”  (Psalm 76:1-2)

The Lord is known.  There are those who want to pretend He does not exist, but He is known.  His home is peace and He dwells in eternity.  He from whom all things come has spoken and those who hear know of His peace and long for His dwelling place.  This is the promise to the faithful, that He will be their God and they will be His people forever.  Come to the Lord gratefully and sing His praises.

Lord, there is no peace upon the earth and what You have given is ignored.  Guide me, O Lord, away from the ways of this world and into Your presence of peace and eternal purpose.  Lead me according to Your ways that I may sing Your praises here now and then there.  You are the Mighty One who lives forever and You have reached out Your hand to Your servants here that we may know You.

Lord Jesus, God in the flesh, You have given us the peace which surpasses all understanding.  You have come that we may be with You where You are.  Lead me in Your Holy Spirit, O Lord, to walk with You all the days of this life in preparation for all that is to come.  You are the One who has come that we may walk forever in Zion and dwell in Your house forever.  Amen.
