Daily Huddle - Fri Jun 5, 2020 Surrounded

Love you all, praying for you. 
 
I just love God’s Word – it is always truth, and always hope. It has warnings, but for those who heed them, God’s blessing abounds!  Psalms 125 - Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.  As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.  Wow!  What a promise!  What wants to shake you? What is it that tries to get you concerned, fretting or fearful?  Economies? Stock Markets? Viruses? Losses or threat of loss? A bad report card?  A lost or delayed dream?  The threat of harm?  Those who trust in the LORD…  not themselves, or anyone else... who don’t just see the situation, they see the promise.  The Supreme Authority, and Ultimate Power of the Universe surrounds you!  These cannot be shaken.  Nothing can shake them.  They walk in righteousness, and joy, and full trust, and hope.  They intentionally choose to place their trust in the LORD!  They know that joy comes in the morning, they know that The Almighty God – surrounds them like the mountains surround Jerusalem.  God says even in death the righteous have a refuge.  God said fear not, for I AM with you.  Here’s the warning.  The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.  What’s evil?  What God is not saying, and not doing.  What may seem right, but isn’t right - deception.  Verse 4:  Do good O LORD to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart.  But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evil doers.  Peace be upon Israel.  Where He rules as God – there is peace.  This warning talks of those who are evil and the righteous who turn to crooked ways and meet the same end.  This is the Holiness and the Loving Kindness of God.  Praying that you will put your trust in the LORD.  Do the good that He has assigned for you today.  When things try to shake you, that you would trust in Him, wait on Him, be renewed in your mind by His Word, do His will - what He has assigned for you today.  Trust in the LORD is mind rest, and body action.  A peace of mind, and a diligence of hand.  When things try to shake you – PiVAT keeps you in God’s Will, and PRISM keeps you in God’s Word, 4C’s keeps you in God’s peace, and your Daily Call keeps you in God’s Victory – overcoming.  Praying that you will always obey, always trust and always know -  the Supreme Authority and Power of the Universe – surrounds you like the mountains surround Jerusalem.  He’s not coming if He gets the chance, when He gets around to it, if His schedule allows… He surrounds you!  He's there already!  He goes before you, He’s beside you, all around you, He’s your rear guard, and your firm foundation.  Praying that you will remain in His Word, and walk in His ways, and put your trust in Him. 
 
Love you all,
