Psalm 125 verse 2.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the Lord surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore.

Like just get the geographic picture here. So being in Jerusalem, so that's the place where the temple

was or God's presence dwelt among his people and then picture just

mountains around Jerusalem as a picture of protection.

And so here the Psalma says that just a few months

a city, so the Lord surrounds his people.

I gotta think about just a few months ago,

being in the middle of majestic mountains all around me up in the Himalayas.

So not Jerusalem, but I just think about standing in a place where everywhere I look there are mountains like majestic

snow-capped peaks and mountains all around me and you just feel just

just enveloped by them and that's the picture that the

Psalmist gives here just enveloped by the peace and protection and power and provision of God.

Like he surrounds his people. Like picture your life right now this way. Like no matter what

you're walking through, picture your life today surrounded by the peace and protection and provision and

presence and promises I could go on with a lot of peace but all these things from God that are surrounding

you right now and just find rest, find confidence, find joy, find security in this reality.

Oh God, I pray for every single person who's listening to this right now who is in Jesus

who is trusted in him who knows Jesus as Savior and Lord

that they would see themselves right now just surrounded by your peace,
