Recall a time in your life when you were extremely upset. Recall a time when your life seemed to be unravelling before you eyes or when everything was going wrong. What was your reaction? What raced through your mind and heart?
In Psalm 125 that I read for my devotion yesterday the opening verses provide us with a huge wave of assurance and confidence:
"Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever."
The writer of this psalm was up against enemies and forces of wickedness. This psalm is his prayer that the Lord will be with him no matter what happens. He also clearly places the future and fate of his enemies in the Lord's hands.
We who are followers of Jesus can trust God. We can trust that God will be with us no matter what happens in our life and in our world.
