Divine Surroundings
Psalm 125:1-5
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but stays for ever.…


I. THE SECURITY OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD.

1. Between them and all evil is —

(1)  The almightiness of God.

(2)  His unerring wisdom.

(3)  His unchanging love.

2. This Divine surrounding affects —

(1)  The spiritual interests of His people.

(2)  Their temporal necessities.

(3)  All providential experiences.

(4)  Their sorrows.

II. THEIR STABILITY. Mount Zion cannot be removed, but abideth for ever; even so, they that trust. Having a hold of God, they cannot be permanently injured in their highest and eternal relations. Moved they may be, but never removed; "perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." "The Lord is round about them even for ever."

(J. M. Jarvie.)
