Completely Surrounded By God’s Love And Caring
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. (Psalm 125:2)
“You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble;You surround me with songs of deliverance.” (Psalms 32:7)
“since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us…fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Heb 12:1-2)
“For I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’” (Zech 2:5)
You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me.(Psalms 139:5)
Sometimes when we become impatient of standing still, of waiting on God’s time, God’s ways, we can become hostile, despairing, unhappy, or even worse. But God, in His Word is encouraging us to quiet down, to quietly realize that we are surrounded by His love,and we are merely waiting and watching for the wonderful way that God is going to help and rescue us from whatever mess we are in.
When it looks like we are trapped by circumstances, the best advice we can know is to simply stand still and watch God rescue us. To watch God do a new thing. (Isa 43:19)
Friends. You are surrounded!
