PSALM 125
Week 3

There are three kinds of people mentioned in this Psalm. Those who trust in the Lord, those who compromise with the enemy, those who deliberately go the wrong path. This Psalm also names the benefits that faith and faithfulness bring to God's people.

FAITH KEEPS US STANDING (vv.1-2)
Spiritual security and stability belong to those who trust in the Lord and walk by faith.

FAITH KEEPS US OBEYING (v. 3)
The prevalence of evil makes it easier for everybody to sin, but the Lord will not permit this to go on forever. The people who trust God will obey His Word no matter what others may do, and will not succumb to temptation.

FAITH KEEPS US PRAYING (v.4)
To live by faith is to keep our eyes on the Lord, rest on the promises of His Word, and do what is right no matter what others may say or do. Faith means living without scheming.

FAITH KEEPS US HOPING (v.5)
The future is your friend when Jesus in your Lord.The life of faith is not easy, but the life of unbelief is much harder--in this life and in the life to come.
