1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved but abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people
from this time on and forevermore.
Prayer Focus: As we continue to lift up our eyes to see the Lord and to follow this road of ascent toward Jerusalem, the psalmist encourages us to see the mountains as a metaphor. Our help is not found in the mountains, but we are able to see the mountains as an image of protection. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds God’s people. God is with you! Give thanks in your prayers that the Lord is with you today.
“People of faith have the same needs for protection and security as anyone else. We are no better than others in that regard. What is different is that we find that we don’t have to build our own. … God is at our side.” Peterson, 79-80.
