Mount Zion
“Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.”
-Psalm 125:1
A mountain is strong, and no mountain more strong than the mountain the Spirit says will abide forevermore. Solid with the ancient rock and dust sifted through the movement of the creation. If God cares deeply about the mount of Israel, the mount of Zion whose steeps David conquered, whose rocks housed the temple of Solomon, where many have called it the navel of all creation. To this sturdy lasting edifice, one must look no further than see an illustration of what value trust in God has.
This mountain has been trampled by the feet of many men. Its humble peak been redolent with the fragrance of crushing throughout the tests of weathers time. Hammer upon her, pave her, build foundations upon her…she will not be moved. Neither will those whom trust in God.
Oh but how the wicked one would desire to ascend above her, scale the sides of the north and exalt himself above the most high…The Lord shall prevail, he will cast down and annhilate all hope of such wicked imaginings. By God’s grace we will be more than conquerors, through faith…be as a mountain, be sure, be steady.
