GOD IS WITH US.

"As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even forever." Ps. 125: 2.
How are the mountains round about Jerusalem? Are they there to-day, and gone to-morrow? Are they there in sunshine, but do they forsake Jerusalem when it storms? Are they there when all eyes see them, but gone when night makes them invisible?
You exclaim, "What foolish questions!" But if the "as" and "so" in this verse are true, and if the Lord really is round about his people as the mountains are round about Jerusalem, the things many Christians think and say are far more foolish. Did none of you ever think in time of trouble and darkness that the Lord had forsaken you?
It is an unchangeable fact that the mountains are round about Jerusalem, whether anyone sees them or not; and it is equally an unchangeable fact that God is always round about us "from henceforth even forever," whether we see and feel him or not? Let us believe it.—Selected.
