Scripture: Psalm 125
A Psalm of Ascents
1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people
both now and forevermore.
3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
their hands to do evil.
4 Lord, do good to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.
5 But those who turn to crooked ways
the Lord will banish with the evildoers.
Peace be on Israel.
Observation:
The Psalmist knows that the Lord can be trusted at all times. He writes: “ Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 125:1-2)
Application:
As we trust in the Lord, with all our heart, no matter what circumstance we may be facing, we will not be shaken for the Lord is our ever-present help at all times.
Prayer:
Lord, you never promise that we will not have trials or even suffering, but your ever-present help is always with us as we journey through our lives. We know that we can trust you in every circumstance and that you have us in the grip of your amazing grace both now and forever. Amen.
