The path to God was becoming difficult to find. Today, we don't have actual walls around our cities and neighborhoods to fortify them and preserve a righteous way of life. But we do have spiritual walls walls that are built up when God's standard is raised, when His name is exalted, when He establishes His throne in our streets, homes, schools, government, businesses and churches. When those walls are up, it's easy to find him. He manifests His presence among us, and we're filled with joy, love and grace.
Light seems to permeate every place, and darkness begins to fade.
People who don't know Him find their curiosity building, their desires turning toward Him, their need to know Him overwhelming. All of a sudden, the choices seem more straightforward than they did before. They're not so confused. They don't feel so removed from God. They can see the pathway clearly, find it easily and make their way to the King.
