Psalm 3

 Troubles come and hard times confront us. There are times when those who are against us may seem innumerable. The answer to this is found in Psalm 3, cry out to the Lord. Recognize that he is the one who can and will save us. He will answer from his holy mountain. 

Where is God's holy mountain? It isn't like the Greek or Roman gods in some faraway place. Scripture speaks of Mount Zion, Jerusalem as being God's holy mountain. The significance of this is Jerusalem is a place people could visit. This is a God who isn't far off but with his people. God will answer but he isn't doing it long distance, he's doing it from our midst. This is encouraging to me.
