God’s Unseen Protection

Psalm 125:2 gives a powerful image of God’s care for His people: “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.” This verse reminds us of the strong, unshaken protection God provides.

Anyone who has travelled through towering mountain ranges like the Rockies understands the feeling of being enclosed by their vastness. In a similar way, those journeying to Jerusalem in ancient times would see hills encircling the city, offering a sense of safety. These hills, though not as tall, stood as a symbol of God’s protection for those heading to worship.

Mountains, by nature, do not move. Even when fog or storms hide them from view, they remain firm and unmoved. God’s protection is the same. Even when we cannot see or feel it, His care surrounds us. The promise of His presence isn’t based on our awareness but on His faithfulness. In difficult times, we can quietly rest in faith, trusting that His steady, unseen arms hold us securely.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

Finding Security in an Unchanging God

In a world where financial security seems increasingly fragile, some people struggle with anxiety about their future. Pension funds fail, retirement savings disappear. In the physical world around us even seemingly solid structures can become unsafe.

Yet there’s a profound truth that offers hope: we have access to an unchanging source of security. As Hebrews 13:8 reminds us, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” This timeless assurance is complemented by Deuteronomy 33:27, which declares “the eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”

Unlike physical structures that can crumble or financial systems that can collapse, God’s promises remain unshaken. When we entrust our future to an eternal, unchanging God who holds time itself in His hands, we find a refuge that transcends temporary uncertainties.
