There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
Psalm 46:4 (NIV)
What a wonderful description of the city of God. God will dwell with humans on the face of the earth! Do you doubt this friend? Read Genesis 1&2, read Exodus 40, read 2 Chronicles 7, read John 14, read Romans 8, read 1 Corinthians 3, and then read Revelation 21&22, and rejoice that God’s desire is to be with His people, in His people around His people, blessing them with all of His goodness in Himself and in His creation. God created what is out of what was not, He created the visible to reveal the glory of the invisible God - His character and His goodness, so that all of creation might glorify His Name! In the place that God dwells, there is a river, a wonderful river, a river that is grace, a river filled with the water of life.
You can’t stop a river, you can pool it with a dam, but you can’t stop it. So it is with God’s grace- you can’t stop it, it will overflow, it just keeps coming and coming and coming. Don’t miss the truth in these scriptures that God’s grace comes to us in river power thru His city, His church. You can find sprinkles of grace by yourself, but the river of grace comes from His dwelling place with humans- in this age of grace that city of God is the local church!
O Father draw us to your church that the river may flow!
