Psalm
125:1 (NASB) Those
who trust in the Lord |
Song Of The Day |
Psalm
125:1 is
a Bible verse that gives us a glimpse of the steadfast
protection of the Lord. This promise is exceptional—that we would be as
steadfast as a mountain, not being moved but firm on the steady rock of
Christ.
But note the promise is for those who trust
in the Lord.
Imagine
what life could be like if we had been born using our full potential to
trust the
Lord. There are so many grand and abundant promises in the Bible for
those who
trust God and for those who revere Him.
As
Disciples of Jesus Christ, we have learned that trusting Him is a
learned art.
It is a practice which must be exercised daily. We might not have been
born using
our full potential to trust God, but we were born with the opportunity to
use that potential.
Psalm
125:1
Those who trust in the Lord
Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides
forever.
Let’s
look
at the Hebrew meaning for the word “trust,” which is: be confident or
sure; be
bold (secure, sure), hope. We should ask ourselves, where do we get our
confidence? What makes us feel secure? What makes us feel bold?
The
answers
to those questions help us evaluate the level of our trust in the Lord.
Is it
our outward appearance that gives
us confidence, or the Lord? Is it a
pocket
full of cash that makes us bold, or is it the Lord? Is it a steady
relationship
that makes us feel secure, or is it the Lord?
God
waits
ever-so patiently for us to let go of these things and to take hold of
His
hand. He molds and shapes us along our spiritual journey of
Discipleship. He
delights in those who choose to walk in His ways.
We
don’t
have to be operating in perfection to take hold of the promises of God.
In
Christ, we
are already perfect. And yet, He leads us on a
path where
the
perfection of Christ within us gradually makes its way to the surface
of our
lives—our behavior and work. This is the part that takes time.
With
our
participation in this process of growing in trust, we are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides
forever.
So
even
though our daily operation is short of perfect, we are perfect for our
stage of
development because of Christ in us. As we grow to maturity, we are
perfect in
our development, just as a piece of fruit is perfect as it grows in all
its phases
of development.
We see the rewards of God as we... click to continue
