And of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her; And the Most High Himself shall establish her – Psalm 87:5
Zion, the city of God, represents where the people of God reside. It is a place where God is first place, and He directs the affairs of His people. To live in Zion is to live in the territory and environment that God has chosen for us. Yet, there is difference between living in Zion and experiencing the life of Zion. To live a life of Zion requires complete surrender to God in humility; it requires walking with God in the Spirit. Apostle Paul said that if we live in the Spirit, we should also walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:35). When we walk in the Spirit, we set ourselves apart from the rest of the people around us, whether they are of Zion or not. People take notice and they see that we are different. Being of Zion is not about appearing to be holy or doing things to try to prove to others that we are different. Rather, it is about allowing God to live His life through us daily. Therefore, Zion life comes when we die to ourselves so that we may live to God.
Lord, show me where I am prideful so I can surrender those areas to You and live the life that you intend.
