The Lord Surrounds His People + This Sunday
Good morning Immanuel. We are secure in the love and power of Christ!
“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.” (Psalm 125:2)
Seven mountain peaks surround Jerusalem. These mountains have stood the test of time and have served as ancient landmarks. Abraham found the favor of the Lord in these mountains. King David found refuge in the slopes of these mountains. The hills surrounding Jerusalem are a heritage. But there is an even greater strength surrounding God’s people. The Lord Himself surrounds His people as the mountains surround Jerusalem. He surrounds us in mercy. He surrounds us in kindness. He surrounds us in covenant faithfulness from generation to generation. Dear friend, in Christ, you are more secure than a city built on seven hills. In Christ, our standing in His love is firm. No army can prevail against His all-surrounding love. In Him, as the mountains surround the city of Zion, so goodness and mercy surround us all the way home.
