Psalm 125
A song 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.
On my recent vacation out west I can think of nothing more powerful looking than the peaks of the Grand Teton Mountain Range. They are massive and arise out of the plains immediately. They are not just powerful looking they are comforting. They are permanent. We can not move them, they are virtually unaffected by wind, snow, sleet, rain, heat, cold, water, and man. God is even more invincible than these massive peaks. He is not affected by our weakness, arrogance, stubbornness, anything we do, anything we say, or anything we think. When we get to the point where we can lean on the Lord, we get to share in that strength, power, and permanence. When we truly trust in the Lord, we can be like the Tetons. Nothing can affect us, nothing can keep us from the strength and power of the creator of the universe if we trust in him.
The area that leads up to the Tetons is filled with all types of wildlife, Elk, Moose, Bear, Deer, Birds, flowers, Trees and plants. They are nestled in the shadow of the mountains as if the mountains are watching over his children. The mountains provide the protection. The plants and animals count on the permanence and the comfort of the mountains. We are no different with God. If we "nestle" up to God and live in the shadow of his will and grace we too will be comforted and protected.
It is amazing that the creator of the universe cares so much about us to share his strength and power if we will only trust in him. He also promises to be with us with the same permanence as the mountains, even more so. He loves us. He cares for us and he wants to be with us forever. Praise God!
