Renewed places

Violence will disappear from your land; the desolation and destruction of war will end. Salvation will surround you like city walls, and praise will be on the lips of all who enter there. ~ Isaiah 60:18 (NLT)

John, the Seer writes: I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “Look! God’s dwelling is here with humankind. He will dwell with them, and they will be his peoples. God himself will be with them as their God." ~ Revelation 21:3 (CEB)

KEY IDEA:
God is redeeming our places just as he is redeeming his people.
PRAYER:
Lord, I am really looking forward to the completion of salvation. I'm curious as to what it will be like to have you living among us. Forgive me for dismissing such things as too far off in the future. Help me to live each moment now in light of the inevitable then. Thank you for being involved in fixing our broken world. Amen.
