“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.”
— Psalm 125:2 (NKJV)
5 Points:
- God’s protection encircles His people like an unbroken shield.
- His security is as constant and sure as the mountains.
- We are forever wrapped in His care, not just temporarily.
- No enemy can penetrate the defense God places around us.
- God’s presence is our daily defense and hope.
Poem: Surrounded by Mercy
The hills stand bold around the fields.
The rocks breathe old songs of strength.
You raise your walls around my days.
You draw unseen lines against the dark.
You build a fortress with your hands.
The enemies shout from distant cliffs.
The storms scratch against the gates.
But your arms stretch wider than the fears.
Your mercy leans harder than the storms.
Your love weaves stronger than the winds.
The city sleeps inside your shield.
The fields rest beneath your gaze.
You patrol the roads I cannot see.
You seal the gaps with endless light.
You stand guard over my dreams.
I cannot see the danger’s shape.
I cannot trace the enemy’s path.
But you carve safe trails through the night.
You lay soft fields under heavy skies.
You whisper peace into cracked walls.
Today I stand wrapped in your walls.
Today I breathe inside your strength.
You are the mountain behind my steps.
You are the river under my song.
You are the shield around my soul.
