Welcome to Scripture Saturday!

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 more. (Psalm 125:1,2)

Knowing that God surrounds me with His presence, protection, and faithfulness shows me that I can always be confident of His goodness and grace for me.

As a song of Ascent, this Psalm was sung as pilgrims were journeying to Jerusalem. On their walk they would climb the hills and rugged mountains surrounding Jerusalem. I am sure those pilgrims couldn’t help but meditate on the beauty of what they were seeing. 

The writer of this psalm makes a comparison of “those who trust in the LORD” to Mount Zion. Mount Zion is rock solid. It cannot be shaken. We, as believers, are on solid ground. Our rock is the Lord Jesus, and Who He is, What He has done, and His promises to us, His people, stand fast forever and ever. 

He goes on to remind us that the Lord God surrounds and protects His chosen nation, His people. He protects them from “this time forth and forever more” and from every direction. God had proved Himself faithful to His people in the past and they were confident of His continuing goodness and grace towards them. I know that He has proven Himself to be faithful in my life time and time again, so I can be confident that He will continue His goodness and grace towards me!

Ladies, we are surrounded by God. He will protect us. We cannot be shaken if our trust is in Him. He will always be with us. We are safe because we are surrounded!
