Psalm 87- Source of Joy

 “Singers and dancers alike will say, “My whole source of joy is in you.””

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭87‬:‭7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

This is an interesting psalm, it is talking about Jerusalem and how it is the best city.  That sounds really weird to us because cities don’t mean much to us today in America, where they are just a place to live. For Gods people however, Jerusalem (Zion) was the location of God.  He chose to have His temple there and expanded the city by making it victorious in so many ways.

What stood out to me however is that the people were rejoicing because they knew God.  That is how I feel and I wish everyone could experience the unfashionable joy and delight in knowing God intimately.
