"The LORD loves the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God!"
Why does God love the "gates of Zion," (His church), more than any-
thing else, including the individual "dwellings of Jacob"? Because the Son of God purchased her, for His own, to be His holy bride. And hence we read in Eph. 5:25b, that, "Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her."
Let us love what God loves; and then imitate Him in our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, and our personal and public lives.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Nothing stirs in the world but God has a design in it for the good of His church." --Thomas Watson, in his ser-
mon, entitled, "God's Anatomy upon Man's Heart"]
