We will not fear because there is a God who reigns in all His glory & power in a City - A city full of Gold & precious stones. The image of this Golden city- the city of God, the city of Joy is not that easy to perceive. Because that is where our Mighty & Holy God dwells with all his power & might. Even the mountains fall, this city will not be troubled, as God is within her, she will not fall. And Glorious works of the Lord make it even more wonderful.
'Glorious things are said of you City of God,Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise, in the city of God, in His holy mountain.It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth.In the city of our God Almighty, He makes her secure for ever! '
Of course His inspired love makes us desire to be its members. But we prefer, earthly Gods before this heavenly city's holy founder.We have been trying to build our own cities-City of Man without God, which will never be complete, and will always lack the joy and glorious works of the Lord. But we still built our OWN cities, not knowing that He is the God of Gods; not of false, wicked and proud ones, but of godly and holy ones.
He who is the King of Kings and prince of peace, makes our dreams and lives the gold and precious stones of His City. Hence,"With perseverance and patience, let us make history with God because its being built by Him with Him its well constructed" ( Pope Benedict XVI)
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God , the Holy place where the most high dwells.
And I wish to be a droplet in this river, whose streams make the City of God joyful!
And yet to be still in the wilderness, knowing Him and His Joyful presence !
