Psalm 125 mentions a remarkable mountain – Mount Zion.  It is not one of the many familiar mountains mentioned so often in the Bible like Mount Sinai or Mount Hermon or Gerizim, Carmel, Hor, etc. Nor is it like many of our this-worldly summits that we are familiar with – Mount Everest, Mount Fuji, Olympus, Pikes Peak, McKinley, Rainier, or even that daunting mocker, El Capitan.

No. This mountain is Mount Zion and there none like it. It is a mountain that cannot be shaken! You look at the Himalayas – those ancient warriors standing shoulder to shoulder – majestic, rugged, wise, fearless. What fortitude! What strength! Yet even they cannot compare to Mount Zion, for given enough time, the Himalayas can be shaken and will crumble. So …

So?

So, look at what the Psalmist says about Mount Zion as compared to God’s people. The Psalmist says that “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion which cannot be shaken but endures forever!”

When you trust in God, you have a strength that is stronger, mightier, more powerful, more far reaching, and higher than any of the world’s mountains. Mount Everest is nothing. McKinley is stubble. Olympus is rubble. Your faith in God however – it mocks El Capitan.

When we look at the world’s tallest peaks, we marvel. But the Psalmist looks at God’s people and marvels even more. Why? Because for all of the grandeur, majesty, power and strength that these towering peaks have been endowed with, they are nothing when compared to who we are when our trust is the Lord God Almighty! So, trust in the Lord! Move the mountains in your life.

“I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Mt. 17:20).
