Psalm 120 – God gives Endurance
Only God can deliver you from lies and their
destructive power, and only God can judge the liars. Just be sure you are
“valiant for the truth” in your own life (Jer. 9:3).
God did not change the Psalmist’s circumstances; he
had to remain among the people who hated him and lied about him. But God gave
him the endurance he needed to be faithful under pressure. God can easily
change your circumstances, but He needs your help if He is to change you.
Before God gives deliverance, He first must give endurance.
Psalm 121 – God of the Hills and Valleys
The God who made the hills is the God who gives you
help. He is the God of the hills and the valleys (I kings 20:23-30) and His
help is available to all who will call upon Him.
The pilgrims traveled together for fellowship and
safety because the roads were dangerous. The dangers today are just as great,
if not greater. But God goes before you and stays awake to guide you and guard
your path. He is next to you and over you and He will safely take you to Zion.
Psalm 122 – Pray for Jerusalem
We can easily travel to a place of worship today, but the
ancient Jews had to walk a long distance. Yet they were happy to go to God’s
house.
The people loved Jerusalem! It was a holy place
because the temple was there, an honored place because David’s throne was
there, and a happy place because the tribes were there to celebrate the
greatness and goodness of God.
There can be no peace in our world until the Prince of
Peace rules His people and there is peace in Jerusalem.
