We're getting close now! In our journey psalms of ascent, we can finally see the mountains of Jerusalem. It's nice to have a landmark to say "I'm almost there!" When I'm driving back from Holland to our home in Glen Arbor, the intersection of Thompsonville Road and US-31 is my clue- we're almost home. For those walking to Jerusalem, it would be the many hills (mountain is a little bit of a stretch for someone who has hiked on the Appalachian trail) that surround Jerusalem.
The wonderful part of this landmark is that mountains do not change very quickly. They are symbols of stability in a very unstable world. Sometimes things can change very quickly- sometimes they change so slowly that the change in imperceptible, but everything changes. So where do we go when the change is too much, too fast or too painful? The psalm points us to God, who is dynamic yet the same yesterday, today and forever.
So how do you trust in God? Is it an attitude, or a prayer or some kind of action you do?
