In Psalm 137:4 we read, "how can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land." That was the cry of the exiles. However they did learn to sing as they remembered Zion.
We might cry the same. We find ourselves in Babylon and not in Zion. We are exiles, citizens of a heavenly kingdom but living in an earthly one. However as we gather together each Lord's Day we sing the songs of Zion. Those songs should always remind us of our citizenship. Right to the end of his life Daniel remembered Jerusalem. As was his custom he opened his window facing Jerusalem and prayed to his God. What do we do to remind us of our heavenly home?
