Psalm 125:2: As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
The mountains around the holy city, though they do not make a circular wall, are nevertheless set like sentinels to guard her gates. God does not enclose his people within ramparts and bulwarks, making their city to be a prison; but yet he so orders the arrangements of his providence that his saints are as safe as if they dwelt behind the strongest fortifications. It is not said that Jehovah’s power or wisdom defends believers, but he himself is round about them: they have his personality for their protection, his Godhead for their guard. We are here taught that the Lord’s people are those who trust him. 1
Living the Transformed Life
The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27
- He will surround those who trust in Him. Are you experiencing His presence?
- He will defend those who trust in Him. Will you allow Him to fight your battles?
- He will protect those who trust in Him. Do you trust Him for your safety?
The eternal God is there for you…for all eternity. – TWEET IT
