“If I forget you, Yerushalayim, may my right hand wither away! May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I fail to remember you, if I fail to count Yerushalayim the greatest of all my joys.”
Psalm 137:5-6 CJB
God has called Jerusalem His holy city, a place that He focuses on and so should we! Why? Because it is what God says to do!
“For Adonai has chosen Tziyon (Jerusalem), He has wanted it as His home. This is my resting-place forever, I will live here because I so much want to.”
Psalm 132:13-14 CJB
Jerusalem is mentioned more than 800 times in the Bible. God calls it His holy city, His resting place! With that said, we should also look at it as important and pray for it and its people! Remember, one day we will all be residents of the New Jerusalem!
“Pray for shalom in Jerusalem; may those who love you prosper.”
Psalm 122:6 CJB
Again, we need to remember and pray for Jerusalem, as God instructs us to do. This is the city that all the world seems to focus on!
“I will make Yerushalayim a cup that will stagger the surrounding peoples. Even Y’hudah will be caught up in siege against Yerushalayim.”
Zechariah 12:2 CJB
Understand, some of these scriptures were written 2500 years ago and they still ring true today!
So let’s be praying for God’s holy city as the word commands us to do!
Watch and see how you will be blessed when we pray!
