Trust in the Lord, the Condition of Stability and Safety
Homilist
Psalm 125:1-5
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but stays for ever.


I. TRUST IN THE LORD IS THE CONDITION OF MORAL STABILITY. Such a soul is firm in its —

1. Love.

2. Faith.

3. Purpose.

II. TRUST IN THE LORD IS THE CONDITION OF DIVINE SECURITY. How often mountains protected nations! The free winds that sweep the summits, and thunder at the sides, seem to inspire the people with an invincible love of freedom. And mountains, too, have often proved the asylums of freedom. But no mountains have guarded a people as God guards those who trust in Him. The Eternal God is a refuge, and underneath are the "everlasting arms." He "is a fire round about" them, and their "glory in the midst" of them.

(Homilist.)
