God, I know you are like the mountains, that you surround us, protect us, and inspire us.
I pray that you make us like mountains, that you cause us to become strong, enduring, and unshakable.
Be my mountain today Lord. Make me a mountain today Lord.
This has been very much my prayer this week as I have gone back to face a really difficult situation that I have been very shaken by for a long time.
The amazing truth is that the reason Mount Zion cannot be shaken is because another hill was. Years after this psalm was written, on a Friday, on a hill called Golgotha, Jesus Christ died for us.
He bore the wrath we deserved. He suffered in our place, making atonement for our sins. It is because of this amazing act of love that God really can and will "surround his people both now and forevermore”.
In whatever we face in this life nothing can ever shake the truth that Jesus conquered our sin in His death. Then He conquered death by His resurrection. And it’s because of this that we can go about our days under the Lord‘s invincible protection. It is only in this kind of supernatural protection that we are really secure. This is a protection that is there for us no matter what. The tomb is empty, Jesus reigns, and we cannot be moved.
The key to continued peace when evil seems to abound is to trust God, to lean on his promises, to allow the Holy Spirit to keep fueling our faith. Our God is faithful and unshakable, there seems no better reason to keep on running to him.
