“… But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, And shall inherit My holy mountain.”(Isaiah 57:13)
 
 
Psalm 125:1-2, “Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
 so the LORD surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.” The word of God is true to perform and that is why it commands a great deal of paying attention to each and every Word. It is clear and true that trusting Him makes one to abide forever. Trusting in Him was not limited to only the people of the old but to all generations. The Word of God also likens those that trust Him to Mount Zion. What is it about Mount Zion that is special and rewarding for anyone that trusts Him? The same word of God pointed out in the book of Joel 2:32, “And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance…” Deliverance is surely the portion of any believer that trusts in the Lord. Those that trust in God, who are likened to Mount Zion, should not only be seen as having deliverance as their portion but also be seen as agent of deliverance because it is written in Obadiah 1:17, “But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance and there shall be holiness…” The point is, any one that trusts in God is like Mount Zion and has what it takes to be an agent of deliverance. Do you really trust Him? It is all about trusting and resting in the name of God. Years, months, weeks or days can pass, but God will not forget His own: the ones that have taken a position of trust in His name. When waiting and trusting on God seems to be taking forever, and when it can be seen that time is clearly not in your favor, the Word of God encourages us, “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” (2 Peter 3:8) God will never run out of time, and there is never a “late” in His timing, because the timing of God is different from the timing of man. All that Gods expects from those that believe and trust in Him is to call and cry to Him when the need calls for it. Isaiah 58:9, “Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am…’” King David, because of his trust in the Lord, declared in 1 Samuel 22:4, “I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.” It takes the heart that trusts to remember to call in the midst of unbearable challenges. King David is an example of someone who did not hesitate to ask when the need called for it. David did not go to war without seeking God first. Twice in 1 Samuel 23, verses 2 and 4, he repeatedly went and inquired from God before going to war against the Philistines. David knew to ask God rather than assume before making a move against his enemies. When there is a cry, He will move His hand of deliverance. The children of Israel, in bondage of over four hundred years cried to God, “And the LORD said: ‘I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians…” (Exodus 3:7-8) God is consistent with His word. When you ask by calling on Him, He will answer; when you cry to Him, He will show up on your behalf.However, there are some questions you want to ask yourself when asking. Have you actually been begging, when you have been told to ask? In your asking have you been asking amiss? James 4:3, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.” God is not a partial God, but He is a faithful God. He is a God of order and demands complete obedience to His Word before the Word can work for anyone. When there is confidence to wait and receive, do not ask amiss, but trust in the name of the Lord God; call on His name and He will answer. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower…” (Proverbs 18:10) Personalize the Word of God and trust in Him, and the peace in His Word will be your portion. Remember, they that trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. Consider yourself to be Mount Zion, which cannot be moved.
