13 Days of Trust in the Lord and do good. Day 8 – Psalm 125:1

“Those who trust in, lean on, and confidently hope in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides and stands fast forever.”

Christians are not stubborn. We are CONVINCED. We have experienced God enough to truly and fully trust in the Lord. Truly trusting in Him, makes that person a rock on firm foundation. I see two things in today’s passage:

1) People who truly trust God cannot be moved from their position. Whatever life throws at them, they will not depart from God’s way. They trust Him with their past, present, and future, knowing that He is faithful to His Word. They are not tempted away from following God’s directives. God’s opinion is more important than the opinion of any person. God is Lord in their lives.

2) They abide on that firm foundation. To abide means to remain on/in – to live it. The person who truly trusts God not only stands on His faithfulness to His Word, trusting Him to be God, faithful to fulfill His promises, but they consistently apply His Word to their living and breathing. Every decision is dictated by God’s opinion as found in His Word to us.

Therefore, these truly desire and work toward being faithful in all things as He is. They are the ones you can go to and count on. They will speak the truth to you in love, helping you solidify your stance. They will be there to love and help in the hour of need wherever your need and God’s provision through them meet up. They are faithful as He is faithful, responding to His calling and equipping with wholehearted and willing fervor.

“Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,” Philippians 1:25 (see vs. 21-30)
