Psalm 125 is another Psalm of Ascent and Praise to God. The Psalm reads: Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous,lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong.Do good,Continue reading “The Immovable Mountain”

Look to the Mountains
One of my favorite Psalms is Psalm 121, which also features one of my favorite verses. The song is a Psalm of Ascent, Praise, and Confidence in God. It reads I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not letContinue reading “Look to the Mountains”
Mount Zion – Where God Dwells
One of the really interesting concepts introduced in Psalms is the idea that God’s people are actually Mount Zion. We’ve see this in the last two days of our readings. Psalm 74:2 Remember the nation you purchased long ago,the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed—Mount Zion, where you dwelt. Psalm 78:68 but He choseContinue reading “Mount Zion – Where God Dwells”
The Mountain Where God Dwells
In the 68th Psalm, David is praising God for His power and for David’s deliverance from His enemies. He recounts the various times God has saved the children of Israel.

Who May Approach His Mountain?
One of the repeated questions of David throughout the Psalms is seen in our verses from yesterday and today: Psalm 15: Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

His Holy Mountain
One of the really interesting things about the relationship between God and mountains is that He is repeatedly said to dwell in His holy mountain. Through the Scriptures, God is pictured a top of HIS holy mountain or hill. David almost immediately into the Psalms depicts this image for us in Psalm 3. O Lord,Continue reading “His Holy Mountain”
Formed By God’s Power
The mountains are breathtaking. They are ancient. As John Denver wrote, life is old there, older than the trees. It is no wonder ancient societies either worshipped or worshipped at the feet of mountains. They reach up to the skies and go deep into the earth. Mountains remind us that we are but mere smallContinue reading “Formed By God’s Power”
