Those who TRUST in God are like Zion Mountain: Nothing can move it, a rock-solid mountain you can always depend on.
PSALMS 125:1
I have been wondering lately why God is so determined to teach me to trust! It seems like that has been the theme of my life for almost 9 months now. Then I read this verse, a verse I have read and sang about many times...and it hit me. Those who trust in God, are like Rock Solid Mountains, or Foundations, that CAN NOT BE MOVED!!!
So, maybe the purpose in trusting God is so that we can become something people can always depend on as being rock-solid. In every area of life, Spiritually, Physically, Relationally, Financially, Emmotionally. Is that the picture of a perfect bride. Something that can never be moved, and can always be depended on. But I can't help but notice, it seems we have become the total opposite of that as a bride of Christ.
Its not about us...its not about how flashy and exciting we can make God look to the world, it is about how SOLID we can be to the World. Its about the Body of Christ coming TOGETHER to form a rock-solid Mountain, that cannot be shaken, and that the world can look to and depend on. A Mountain the the lost and dying can run to and not be judged, but comforted by our inviting foundation.
The Christian life is not about bringing division between those who belief and those who do not. We may not be of the world, but we are in it...and believe it or not God put us here for a purpose. And that purpose is to LOVE GOD with all your heart, and LOVE your neighbor as yourself!
It's REAL SIMPLE LOVE!
