Psalm 124-125

“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever” (125:1). Despite physical and spiritual battles, when we trust in the Lord, we find real security. Our strength and deliverance will not come from ourselves, clever strategies, or the world’s power, but from the Maker of heaven and earth (124:8). “If the Lord had not been on our side ... the raging waters would have swept us away” (124:5). The psalmist rejoiced that God sets people free. “The snare has been broken, and we have escaped” (124:7).

“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people” (125:2). No power on earth can separate us from the mercy and love of God (Romans 8).
