Wednesday is For One Year: Psalm 125

Psalm 125:1,4 & 5Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever…Do Good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts! But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers!First, there is a wonderful truth for believer, those who trust in the LORD; we cannot be moved! Although we may feel we are moving or unstable, the eternal truth is that we are cannot be moved. If our trust is in the LORD we will forever be found in him. Verse 2 gives us the foundation for this unmovableness, the LORD. He surrounds his people. Too many times we trust in ourselves and own works to gain assurance, but our hope, our steadfastness is found only in Christ. If you trust in him you will not be moved.

Second, this trust in the LORD does not simply refer to an inward change. Eternal security according to scripture does not mean you can live however you want. Verses 4 and 5 affirm this truth. The one who trusts in the Lord is a good man, and then he further states he is righteous in his heart. This means he is good both outside and inside. The change is to the complete, whole man. He is good to others, but also good to God. This must include walking in God’s ways instead of turning aside to his own ways. Therefore we must assume that if the LORD is surrounding us, he will therefore keep us in obedience to God’s commands and way.

Peace to God’s people
