Here the Lord is telling the saints that if they want to follow Him they need to make an effort to be where He would have them be. Even though there is no longer a physical Zion, we can draw nearer to the Lord and follow Him closer as we strive to stand in holy places in our lives and make the spaces around us sacred.
