The Lord is
good. That clearly is the theme of these
two chapters for this day. In fact, that
likely understates the theme of the chapters.
The Lord is more than Good. He is
our salvation, in more ways than one.
After all,
if the Lord is not on our side, would not the world devour us? How many of us in the world are capable of
keeping ourselves from being devoured?
Could not the powerful and influential destroy any of us on a whim if
they so desired? The truth of life is that
most of us could be undone and the majority of the world would not bat an eye.
There is
someone who would care, though. The Lord
would care. The Lord does care. He watches over us. He puts us in the vicinity of those who would
protect us. He leads us to those who can
mentor us and guide us. He leads us in
His ways and teaches us to abide in His protection. Our help is in the Lord, because He has made
the earth and understands His creation perfectly.
I love the image
offered up to us in Psalm 125. As
mountains surround Jerusalem, so does God’s protection surround us. It’s well known that Jerusalem’s greatest
defense was its geography. It is nigh
impossible to assault without building massive ramps to alleviate the geography. This is a tremendous image to consider when
thinking about God’s protection over us.
God’s protection is insurmountable.
God’s protection is through. God’s
protection is profound.
