Trust In The LORD

On that day they will sing this song in the land of Judah: "A strong city have we; he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us.  Open up the gates to let in a nation that is just, one that keeps faith.  A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace; in peace, for its trust in you."

Trust in the LORD forever!  For the LORD is an eternal Rock.  He humbles those in high places, and the lofty city he brings down; He tumbles it to the ground, levels it with the dust.  It is trampled underfoot by the needy, by the footsteps of the poor.

Yes, a strong country we have.   But, we don’t need walls and ramparts to protect us.  Is our nation just when we close our gates to those from other countries escaping poverty and cruelty?  What is our firm purpose?  If peace than how do we explain the suffering and chaos at our southern border caused by closed gates and barb-wired walls? 

Those in high places are bringing our lofty nation down.   They are tumbling it.  Do we hear the needy and many footsteps of the poor?   Or are they being trampled underfoot?

Those in high places will be humbled and eventually brought to justice.  For that outcome, we trust in the LORD.
