The most amazing thing occurred the other night as I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep. I was thinking about music (which is probably why I couldn't fall asleep) and had the most marvelous revelation.
To all and any of you who have ever had the opportunity to sing in a choir setting, you will understand. You know that feeling you get when the whole choir is singing together and everyone just seems to connect to the song? (I like to call these music "highs"). That feeling of everyone becoming one and you feel as if you are a part of something bigger than yourself?
The revelation I had is that Zion is supposed to feel exactly the same way. The "music high" is what Zion is supposed to be. To become as one, with one purpose.... of one heart and one mind.
With this new revelation comes a new understanding of what Zion is to me. I have a new desire to help the Lord prepare Zion for his second coming. Because if that same feeling I get a glimpse of while singing is the same feeling Zion will have... then I cannot wait until that day! Only, we can't just sit and wait around for that profound and glorious day... we must help the Lord prepare Zion. He will not come again until we establish it for Him.
If you now find a new meaning in what Zion is, I urge you to study more on the subject. Find out your PERSONAL mission that the Lord has for you in building up His kingdom. I found mine by reading a book on temples. I read about 2 chapters on the bus everyday on the way to and from school. I finished it yesterday. While sitting and reading I came across a glorious passage and KNEW what the Lord has planned for me. The spirit was so strong and I could not help but cry (and yes, there were other people on the bus). I know what the Lord has planned for me to help establish Zion. If you don't know yet, search, ponder, and pray what the Lord's will is for you. It may take time before you receive your answer, but he WILL answer you!
