Day 352 Bible Reading: Habakkuk 1-3, Revelation 9, Psalm 137 and Proverbs 30:7-9
The Israelites always remembered Jerusalem even when they were in exile in Babylon, Jerusalem, where God was worshipped, where they could experience the presence and blessing of God. And what about you and I? In those times of challenges, in those times when things look hopeless and dark, in times of weeping - can we look up to Jesus and ask for his presence and look forward to his intervention? Let us remember that in all things, he works to our good. Let us look up in faith to our personal Jerusalem - his intervention and deliverance in our lives.
"By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion." – Psalm 137:1 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, in your presence is life and joy and abundance. In our challenges and difficulties, let us not just weep but look with faith to you for your intervention, presence in our lives and your blessing. We need you, Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen."
