Update and Psalm 125


Totally last track of time and did not realize it had been so long since I wrote a blog update, I have my sister to thank for reminding me!
Anyway, over the past week the house has come a lot nearer to completion! Almost the entire floor is tiled, with just a few spots left and then the trim/baseboard around the entire floor. We then have to cut and put up the trimming around the doors, hang the doors, finish electrical and plumbing work, and it will be ready to go!
The section of the Bible I am going to write about this time is Psalm 125. The whole Chapter is really good and I encourage you to read it, but I will be focusing on verses 1-2.

“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 forever more.

 I really enjoy the comparison of those who trust in the Lord to a mountain, when I think of mountains, I really cannot comprehend just house much rock and strength there is there. They are huge, their roots reach deep, and they are completely, totally and utterly immovable. God is promising us that if we trust in Him, by his strength we will be like mountains. We will not be moved or shaken, and just as we are like mountains, God surrounds us with a love even stronger than that to protect us. This is a great reminder for anyone who is struggling or being attacked in some way, God will protect and provide you the strength to make it through. So take heart and trust in the Lord!
