"God answers my prayers everywhere except on the golf-course."
Psalm 125
SurroundedAs the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people – both now and for evermore Psalm 125:2
What an amazing thought and promise that the Lord surrounds us. He is there for us. Whatever problems you may be facing, the Lord is there. The idea of surrounding is that he is stopping the problems getting to us or getting on top of us. And to take it a stage further the promise has an eternal guarantee. He surrounds us not just now – but forever.
If you are fortunate enough to live where you can see mountains, let that be a sign to you. Just as the mountains are there every day, so is the Lord’s surrounding presence.
The world of sport can bring you lots of headaches, pressures and stresses but don’t forget that the Lord has you covered.
