Psalms 125:1 KJV
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
A person can make the argument that the movement spoken of in this Psalm is emotional. I see where that fits in with "the peace of God that passeth all understanding."
But the context must speak first to Israel and to their trust in God's care for their nation.
• That future nation of Israel, that one that will trust in the Lord, will have an enduring kingdom.
• One day those who trust in the Lord will remain to enter into the kingdom of God while those that do not will be carried away into the lake of fire.
• The one who trusts in the Lord today is immovable in the sense that he is trustworthy, dependable. He will be where he ought to be. He is not driven with the wind and tossed.
• Those who trust the Lord aren’t the ones who change churches when trouble comes or move to another town when a job offer comes
They recognize the value of stedfastness.
God's Word exhorts the Christian
1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
