Hebrew Highlights 149 As the
Mountains
Shalom. This is Yuval
Shomron, coming to you from the studios of the High Adventure Global
Broadcasting Network in
PSA 125:1-2
(A Song of Ascents.) Those who trust in the Lord Are as
In Hebrew it goes like
this: Habotchim
b’Adonai kehar Tsion, lo imot leolam vaed”.
The word “imot”, usually translated as moved, is more
specifically, shaken, or tottered. So
then,
There is a similar
passage in PSA 46:4-5 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her
when morning dawns.
So then, God is in her
midst, and surrounding her. Again, the
words for “not be moved”, are even more specifically,

of our salvation, and know we will never forsake the Lord. Yet, we are afraid of being shaken in our

constantly take up our binoculars, and stare at the encroaching foes, making
them seem closer, and therefore bigger, than they actually are. Let God worry about them. Enjoy His glory.
Just in case we might
start thinking God is sitting down on the job, He provided us with PSA 121:4-8,

ring of protection has been widened.
Even the sun and moon can’t get to us.
The Lord will protect us from ALL evil; none will slip through. Even when we leave our normal safe havens, He
will guard us coming and going.
Well, I personally
feel a lot safer now. I hope you do
too. Come visit us, and these scriptures
will come to life.
May the Lord bless you
and keep you. May the Lord be the shade
on your right hand.
May He guard your coming out and your going in.
Shalom Shalom from
