If we trust in the Lord, are we like Mount Zion, abiding forever? Let’s look at Psalm 125.

In a world of shifting cultures, what is the one thing that cannot be moved?
Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. (Ps 125:1-2 NKJV)
Do we pray for godly leaders in our land or as a sinful nation do we get the bad leaders that we deserve?
The wicked will not rule the land of the godly, for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong. (Ps 125:3 NLT)
Do we pray for those who are upright in their hearts, that God would bless them in the world?
Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good, to those who are upright in their hearts. (Ps 125:4 WEB)
What are the consequences for those who choose evil over good? What do we choose? Do we pray for peace?
But as for those people who turn to their own twisted ways—may the Lord march them off with other evildoers! Peace be on Israel! (Ps 125:5 CEB)
Is there another greater Mount Zion that the hill in Jerusalem only symbolizes?
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. (Heb 12:22-24 ESV)
How are those who trust in the Lord like the city of the living God, which cannot be moved, but abides forever?
My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one. (John 10:27-30 HCSB)
