Zion. Heaven. That’s what this Psalm is all about.
I know we can’t begin to imagine what heaven is going to be like! For those that trusted Jesus as our personal Savior we have something to look forward to! I love the South and call it home, but my true home is not found here…it is in heaven with my Lord, my Jesus, my God!
As I was reading, I chose to focus on the very last verse (7). It says, “My whole source of joy is in you.” Also, it could be translated, “all my springs (water) are in you.” For some reason, a water tower popped in my head. I guess I was thinking from the standpoint that I drive by one everyday taking the kids to school and I know that it’s where our drinking water is stored. Just like with God, our joy is stored up in Him. It springs out from Him into our lives. Without Him, there is no joy.
I just needed a simple reminder this morning when I may get discouraged, frustrated or exhausted with life at times, I can go to my strong tower (Proverbs 18:10) and know He will be my supply for joy everlasting! You can trust that in Him there is enough to quench your soul and fill your spiritual cup until it runs over!
“You are my strong tower
A shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting king
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I’m weak
Your name is true and holy
And your face is all I see”
I can’t wait to get to heaven and see that strong tower…that whole source of my joy!
