TEXT: Psalms 125:1-5 (KJV)
1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Corrie ten Boom, a WWII concentration camp survivor, in her acclaimed book, The Hiding Place, described the pain of standing for hours, at attention before her Nazi captors, in the freezing cold of the pre-dawn hours, or huddled on the wooden bunks, sharing blankets and body heat against the crippling chill of the winter nights in captivity. Why was there no relief from her cold, hard trials? Where, in those moments, were the wings of God’s protection? They were spread wide over her still, just as He promised! But sometimes, God stays and goes through the vicissitudes of life with us, instead of removing them.

The Psalm being reviewed emphasizes the abundant blessings and eternal inheritance provided by God. It highlights His strength, power, and faithfulness, assuring believers of His constant presence and protection against evil. The mention of mount Zion in Jerusalem symbolizes God’s unwavering stability and infinity, promising that it will last forever. This imagery represents God as a shield, stronghold, and sustainer for His people, offering them His divine protection and support. The psalm conveys the message that by trusting in God, believers are assured the same security and care as the inhabitants of Jerusalem, His chosen city. It ultimately emphasises God’s role as the Protector and Sustainer of His followers, including the church as His cherished heritage.

Believers, by holy living and consistent obedience to His word, dwell in the secret place of the Highest and will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We must say that God’s people do not need to fear, worry, or be anxious. Our God is on the throne, and no one can hurt or harm us as long as we remain in His secret place. The adversary and his cohort will make attempts but will never succeed.
While mercy, favour, protection, and divine presence guard and guide the righteous, the wicked who persist in unrighteousness shall not go unpunished.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A thousand foes are incapable of taking down a person supported by God.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
