Immovable safety

We read in Psa 125:1-2:- “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.”

There is great courage to be taken from just these two verses. The imagery the Psalmist uses paints a very clear picture for those who trust in the Lord.  Mount Zion is a hill just outside the walls of the old city. However there’s greater depth of meaning here than just a hill.  Mountains are steadfast and immovable (generally speaking) and therefore paint a picture for us of strength and safety. 

 

Verse 2 declares the Lord surrounds His people forever and we can surely draw comfort, peace and hope from this fact.  This isn’t just metaphorical language but a rock solid promise (no pun intended) for those who put their trust in the living God.

 

Proverbs 3:5-6 states the Lord will direct the paths of those who don’t trust in their own understanding, experience or cleverness but for those who acknowledge Him in ALL their ways.

 

The good news today is that the Lord guides, protects, comforts and sustains those who would put their trust in His unfailing love.  There is no safer place to be on this planet than to be surrounded by the God of the heavens and earth! 

 

Come what may, we can have peace in a world plagued by ever increasing depravity, crime, & corruption in every sphere of society.  We shouldn’t be surprised by world events.  The Bible tells us in the 3rd chapter of 2nd Timothy there will be terrible times in the last days (see 2 Tim 3:1-5) and this is what is happening on the world stage even as I write these words.   

 

Back to where we began. “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion… as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people…forever!”

 

May I encourage you to continue to put your trust in THE most trustworthy person – His Name is Jesus.
