Scripture Union Daily Guide 16 October 2026 Outline

Examine carefully the picture the psalmist paints of the protection the Lord provides for His own. Why are we as secure as Mount Zion? The unmovable nature of the mountain points to the unchanging nature of God. Whatever there is in the world may change or may not be available at some point in time. Dependence, therefore, on anything or any person may not be wise. Read what the Prophet Jeremiah says in this regard in Jeremiah 17:5. The person you depend on may not be there tomorrow, but God lives eternally. In God our security is a life-time warranty!

Psalms 125:3 is a reference to God’s ideal for His people. Today, the wicked still rules over the godly. How sad! Sin has so much perverted God’s plan for the humankind. Thank God that evil may triumph but for a short while. (Compare Revelation 21:1-5.)

Observe the prayer the psalmist offers for “those who are good” (Psalms 125:4) and his nation (Psalms 125:5). What prayers do you offer for the church in your country and more importantly for believers? Let us learn from the psalmist and others to pray for the blessing of God on His saints. Have you said a prayer for your country today?
