I was filming on the walls with Paddy and Andy this week. Walking around, taking the time to enjoy our city is something I just forget to do at times. From one point on the walls, you can look directly up shipquay street from the bottom gate all the way up to the statue at the diamond. It's such a beautiful perspective but on this particular day i noticed something funny.
The statue at the top is that of an angel and in front of it stands a street lamp, one of those old ones with two lanterns attached. From where i was standing, it looked as if both of these elements where connected, part of the one sculpture. For a moment, when i glanced at it, it looked to me as if the angel was carrying a set of scales not unlike the statue at the Old Bailey. I just felt God speak to my heart and say..
'Steph, these are the days when i will restore justice to this city'.
'This is what the LORD says:
"In the time of my favor I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
"In the time of my favor I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.'
your walls are ever before me.'
Isaiah 49
If you have not heard of this song God of this city by Chris Tomlin then you need to go on youtube and learn it for your worship group. It is totally in line with what you just wrote.
