Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, [Is] Mount Zion [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King. Psalm 48:2 (NKJV)
Cities were mostly built on an elevated place usually hills. It was majorly for defense purposes. It was also for kings, rulers, or the rich and mighty to show off their glory and power.A city built and set on a hill can easily be located and seen even from afar.Jesus said that we believers are the light of the world, a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden Matthew 5:14.You and I are the city of the Great King, the Lord Jesus Christ.Wherever you are placed whether family, neighborhood, workplace, peer group, village, city, nation, that’s the hill you’re set on. You should shine with the light of the life of the Great King so everyone can see. Let the light of His goodness, mercy, patience, forgiveness, generosity and salvation reach out from you to everyone near and far.
