The LORD loves the gates of ZionGod always had high value for Jerusalem. There's been a lot of speculation on why this is. It's not the highest mountain in the area. It's not the biggest. It's somewhat centrally-located, but not exactly so. So why is this place special to God?
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.
Some think it's because this is where David chose to make his capitol, after he conquered it. Some say that it's the site of the city that Melchizedek came from, when Abram offered him a tithe of the spoils from rescuing Lot. Whatever the reason for its significance, it obviously was important to God, and should therefore be valued by us.
