“The LORD Surrounds His People.”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 125

He was God over His people. Then He came down as Emmanuel (God with us). He then ascended into Heaven in the bodily form, and sent His Holy Spirit to be in us, and to surround us.

John 14:16-17 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”

Today, we know He surrounds us, and He is in us.

John 14:20 “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.”

He was the same Hedge around Job.
He was the same Hedge around Abraham.
He was the same Hedge around Moses.
He was the same Hedge around Joshua.
He was the same Hedge around David.

He is the same Hedge around those in Christ.

The Psalmist writes, He surrounds His people.

Let’s read:

Psalm 125:1-2 “They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. [2] As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.”

He is the Hedge around His people not for a day, a year or a hundred years, but forever.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 125:3 “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.”

Nothing gets through the Hedge of protection around the believer.  No demon, no devil, no sickness, not even death has a chance.

In Christ every disease, demon, and even death is defeated.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 125:4-5 “Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. [5] As 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.”

The unbeliever has no Hedge of protection.The unbeliever is exposed to all the elements. The unbeliever has no answer to demons, no answer to disease,and no answer to death.

Let Him hedge you in. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Hedge as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He is the Hedge of protection around His children, in Christ!
