“And the name of the city from that time on will be ‘The Lord is There.’" - Ezekiel 48:35
Multiple times in the Scripture we find prophetic pictures of God’s ultimate intentions for His people. The end of the book of Ezekiel features a discussion of a new city that God will establish with this amazing promise: “The Lord is there!” It is a metaphor to help us understand that God’s desire is that we would know Him deeply and experience life with a sense of His continuing surrounding presence, love, and care. We might live in the greater St. Louis region today, but we are also meant to be citizens of a Heavenly Kingdom that is all around us, saturated with the peace and goodness of God. Feeling alone today? Rest assured…the Lord is there! Reach out to Him even now and discover His strength and hope!
