Psalm 48

Good Morning “Marvel-ers”.  Today we are in Psalm 48

This Psalm gives honor to God for the city of Jerusalem.  The Psalm seems refer at times to past, present and future Heavenly Jerusalem.  God protected her and will forever.  The sons of Korah invited worshipers to observe the city’s architecture and recall God’s generational faithfulness so they could teach their children about the Lord. Many nations had opposed Jerusalem over the years, but God had made it into a fortress.  

I believe there’s even more here.  
“Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭48‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When we “believe” and receive Jesus payment for our sin - The  Holy Spirit makes His home in us!  We, The Church, made up of true believers - become tThe Temple of The LORD, the Church indwelt by The Spirit. (I Cor 3:16;  and each Believer indwelt by The Spirit.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  1Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We do not have the physical city of Jerusalem in our midst for us to stand, marvel at, and consider Gods generational faithfulness.  To some extent we can consider our local church, Gods provision and faithfulness through the generations; but consider more His faithfulness in and through His people.  The collective Body of Christ, The Church, The Temple of The Living God… marvel at how He has cared for us, protected us, and preserved us!

He is indeed faithful!  Marvel and teach His faithfulness to your children.  Love you all!  Dig in!
