Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Psalm 125
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. 3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
This psalm starts with 3 promises from God.
- When we trust in God ... we will not be removed. We will abide forever.
- The Lord is around HIS people forever.
- The rod of the wicked (those who cause trouble) will not rest upon the righteous ...If it did the righteous would end up putting forth their hands to do iniquity (Iniquity means: immoral or unjust acts)
At the end of this psalm we are told those who turn aside from the way of God and go in opposite way will be led forth with the workers of iniquity. They will not rest with the people of God who have chosen God's way. Light and darkness do not co-exist. If you choose to go in a way of darkness you will be with the other people of darkness.
Peace will be upon the people of God. Certainly we will have trouble but in the trouble we turn to God and HE restores our soul and shows us what to do so though troubled briefly we enter back into peace and rest through that which God speaks by His Spirit.
