Psalm 125; Matthew 26; Matthew 27

Just As The Mountains Surround Jerusalem,

So The LORD Surrounds His People, 

Both Now And Forever.

Scripture

Psalm 125

Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
    they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
 
² Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.

Observation

I took a minute this morning looking up references to Mount Zion just to get a better idea of what the writer was saying when he said, “as secure as Mount Zion.” I found that Mount Zion is an actual hill or mountain that is close to Jerusalem and the temple on top of Mount Zion was described as the place where God’s presence resided. It was His dwelling place. 

Psalm 135:21 “The Lord be praised from Zion, for he lives here in Jerusalem.”

Bottom line for us is that we are very, very secure in the Lord. We will not be defeated. We will endure forever! The Lord surrounds us, both now and forever!

Wow! Great Psalm for today! 

Application

I am secure in the Lord today. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank You for surrounding me with Your love and Your protection. I am secure in You. Thank You for all Your promises. You are so good.
