Thought for the day from Psalm 125:
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 evermore. – Psalm 125:1-2
There’s a lot of things we can put our trust in which will ultimately let us down and leave us shaken. There’s a lot of things around that’ll shake us if we let them.
It was comforting this morning for me to be reminded that if we put our trust in God – and not ourselves or anything else around us – then we will be able to stand firm and endure no matter what comes along. Also comforting to know that God is the one who surrounds us.
I think all of us can find ourselves being shaken sometimes. More common for me is to not necessarily be shaken, but just generally a bit squashed and weighed down. There’s a release that comes when I come back to getting my perspective right, centring my hope and my trust back on God, and remembering that he is the one who surrounds me.
