We – the American church – have been far too comfortable in Meshach and Kedar for far too long. We have the only answer. The answer is repentance. The answer is the blood of Jesus. God will take care of the lying lips and deceitful tongues. His judgment will come – and hopefully Meshach and Kedar will repent. Our message will most likely be opposed, nevertheless we must continue to speak it: “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven has come near.” But we can’t speak what we don’t do. It starts with us. We can’t arrive to our destination unless we leave the world behind. A no to the world is a yes to God.
The Bible begins with a journey. “By faith Abraham…set out for a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tent…he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” (Hebrews 11:8–10, CSB)
Abraham never found the place for which his heart longed and his soul yearned while he was alive.
Life is a journey. Each oasis we find in the desert ultimately fails to satisfy. We live in tents…but the city we desire remains just out of reach.
We’ll going to look at the Psalms in order to investigate what we need to reach that city.
