How would you design the city of the future?

View all responses

I’m looking for a city built differently. Like an ancient man who left his home and family to follow an inner calling, I’m looking for a city whose designer, “builder and maker is God.” His name is Abraham. You can read about him in the Bible. (Hebrews 11:8-12 and many other verses.)

To experience that city in your daily life begin to vet your circumstances in a different way. Instead of analyzing them with your mind or running them through your emotions, consistently say: “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in God my Savior.” (Habakuk 3:18) Regardless of the details of your life situation, nevertheless, continually trust in, rely on, and enjoy the presence of the risen Jesus. If you listen to and obey Christ, He will lead you and empower you to begin to experience the kingdom of God — the inner city and government of God that causes your heart to continually celebrate His presence and glorious reality.
