“Great
is the Lord and most worthy of
praise.” Psalms
48:1a NIV
3000
years ago, many people believed that their god visited earth on the highest
mountain. In Psalm 48, the Sons of Korah are declaring Zion the highest mountain,
and therefore Yahweh the ultimate God. If you love the Lord, you need no other gods. There is no one higher.
Mankind
thinks of mountains as beautiful and majestic – awesome creations. God’s people
felt that way about Mount Zion. Interestingly, the city of Jerusalem was built
on a hill, so that it would be seen as a beautiful city. A high mountain and an
all-powerful God repeatedly struck terror in the hearts of Israel’s enemies. God’s
unfailing love protected his faithful followers. We are admonished to convey
these truths to the next generation.
“God
will be our guide until the end.” The Lord
will lead us all the days of our lives. But God’s care, protection and love also
extend into the next reality. “For this God is our God forever and ever.” Psalms 48:14 Forever and ever means
“always,” and if we believe, love and obey God and his Son Jesus, we will be
together for all time.
