Surround Sound

"As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever."  (Psalm 125:2)

This was one of my Psalms reading this morning.  Below is an illustration of our text.

"'The children are dressed and ready for school.  But there is no food for them to eat,' the housemother of the orphanage informed George Mueller.  George asked her to take the 300 children into the dining room and have them sit at the tables.  He thanked God for the food and waited....Within minutes a baker knocked on the door.  'Mr. Mueller, last night I could not sleep.  Somehow I knew that you would need bread this morning.  I got up and baked three batches for you.  I will bring it in.'  Soon, there was another knock at the door.  It was the milkman.  His cart had broken down in front of the orphanage.  The milk would spoil by the time the wheel was fixed.  He asked George if he could use some free milk.., ten large cans...."  Our Lord Jesus Christ, "....surrounds His People...forever." 

Father, in Jesus' Name, may I be such a person of trust in You.  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2
