Psalm 46:4-5. “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her: she shall not be moved; God shall help her, and that right early.”
GOD IN THE MIDST. Our refuge in danger, Our strength when we’re weak. When trouble’s around, He is there. When others may fear Over happenings far and near, We need not despair – God is here.
Many claim to be pious, When they gather together, They have everything people need, but God – For God is in His “city” – Not impressed by foolish ditty – To me, it’s a great pity – God is not there.
God dwells with His own people - Not in temples made with hands. He has promised where people gather in His name, He will in their presence be. They will share His joy – and He Will assure His blessings see - God is here.
So, though we’re far away From our final destined home, We are as close to God as those in heaven. He is in our midst when saints gather – He is with us alone or when together – God is Spirit, Son, and Father – God is here.
“O Gracious God and Father, when the Lord’s people gather together as a called-out company, there is a great sense of meaning to know Thou art in the midst of them. The presence of God is what many of us live for here and anticipate in the future. I praise Thee for this wonder of God with us, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
