Circle Zion, take her measure, count her fortress peaks, gaze long at her sloping bulwark, climb her citadel heights—then you can tell the next generation detail by detail the story of God, our God forever, who guides us till the end of time.

Get personal with God and pour out your heart. When you do, you will discover the delight of His presence. Ole Hallesby describes the beauty of God's presence: "Nothing is so blessed as quiet, unbroken communication with our Lord. The sense of the Lord's nearness, which fills our soul, is greater than any other peace, joy, inner satisfaction, or security which we have known. Even adversity and sorrow lose their sting when we share everything with the Lord." May you know His presence in deeper and more meaningful ways with each passing day. Hallesby writes, "A little while with Jesus—Oh, how it soothes the soul, and gathers all the threads of life into a perfect whole."
