Psalm 125
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 forevermore.
The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
their hands to do evil.
Lord, do good to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.
But those who turn to crooked ways
the Lord will banish with the evildoers.
Peace be on Israel.
Let us endure forever in the name of the Lord. Let us remember that He surrounds us and watches over us.
As life for me resumes to a "new normal" tomorrow, I find myself in dire need of His peace and reassurance. I need His goodness, His faithfulness.
When I started this blog months ago, I figured that it would get me through the weeks of uncertainty and would guide me into the summer and a new year.
But alas, numbers are rising and uncertainty abounds. This virus and its mayhem are far from over. As I attempt to make sense of the year ahead and try to plan for the unknown, I am so thankful that He pursued me all those months ago. I am so thankful that He fought for me and opened my heart once again to His mercy and love. That He found me and blessed me with His peace, no matter the circumstances.
I am so thankful that I was given the time to be still and abide in Him once more. That I have been blessed with the time to reflect and meditate on His word; to pursue His beauty.
My prayer today is that I continue to pursue Him. I pray that I continue to seek out still moments and rest in His power. I pray that I look to His beauty and pursue His glory. I pray that in this dark world I continue to seek out His marvelous light.
I pray that I always be still and know that He is God. No matter what I face, no matter the darkness or uncertainty that lies ahead, let me always be still in my Lord and Savior's arms.
For when I am still in Him, I will never be shaken. His love and salvation endures.
He shall never be shaken, and by His grace, neither will I. Now and forevermore.
