3 Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together.
4 To it the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 For there the thrones for judgment were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.
Prayer Focus: Why do you come to worship? I suspect there are many good and faithful reasons, but at least one is hinted at in these verses. Jerusalem – built as a city that is bound firmly together. Another translation suggests a city “at unity within itself.” Does worship help you put all the pieces of your life together? Does it connect you with others seeking to hear God’s word and then live it out every day? Does worship bind us firmly together? Pray that you might see and know the church as a centering and foundational place for your life. Lift up and share some of the ways that our church does that for you.
“When a person is confused and things refuse to fit together, she sometimes announces a need to get out of noise and turbulence, to get away from all the hassle and “get my head together.” When she succeeds in doing this, we call that person “put together.” All the parts are there, nothing is left out, nothing is out of proportion, everything fits into a workable frame.” Peterson, 46.
