“If your sons will keep My covenant and My testimony which I will teach
them, their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”  For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired
it for His habitation.”  (Psalm
132:12-13)

The Lord has chosen Zion.  Who are Zion? 
They are the ones who believe and live into the truth that the Lord is
God.  They are the ones who seek after
the Lord.  To them the kingdom has been
promised.  Join with Zion and become as
those who are faithful.  Live as one who
has the promise of the Lord in your heart. 
Be guided by His goodness and mercy now and forever.

Lord, I see these things but do not understand them.  Lead me by faith to see that You are working
amidst a world filled with wickedness to give me the life to which You have
called me.  Join me with Zion that I
would live in Your never-failing kingdom. 
Guide me according to Your goodness to live each day trusting Your
leading.  May I desire Your habitation
always.

Lord Jesus, to those who believe
You have given the power to become children of God.  By Your resurrection You have promised
eternal life.  Guide me in the way of
Zion.  Lead me according to the Father’s
will.  Help me now and always to see
through the cloud of this world and abide in the truth of Your salvation.  Help me this day to live as a citizen of
Zion.  Amen.
