Psalm 125:1
A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As I consider passages throughout the Word, and stumble (or am guided) to particular passages, I find various degrees of clarity in the passages on out topic.
Some clearly define the truth of a conditional relationship with the Living God, and the danger of letting that relationship sour, becoming such that eventually the soul determines to walk away, and thereby enters into the realm of death.
This is a difficult truth, and though it is a difficult truth, it seems I am consistently looking at the negative aspacts of the cold heart, of the soul that may die. I suppose that is the nature of the topic, and may be unavoidable.
But there is the positive aspect for the heart that endures, for the soul that clings, for the mind that seeks to remain faithful.
Psalm 125:1 caught my sight this evening, and the description of “those who trust”, stuck in my craw. The psalmist does not refer to those who trusted, or those who may trust, but of the present trusting soul seeking God. It is a simple truth, speaking of the trusting one’s stability in life, how the saint who is currently (and by implication, constantly) trusting in the Lord cannot be moved.
Of course, the passage lends itself to imply that those who do not trust do not have this stability, this immovableness, but for our time together today, let’s think of the positive truth provided by this psalmist. Let’s dwell on the blessing of stability God provides to the one who in trusting in the saving work of the Savior, the love of God the Father, and the faithful ministry of the Spirit of God.
He is good, and worthy of our trust.
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
