“Go, inspect the city of Jerusalem. Walk around and count the many towers. Take note of the fortified walls, and tour all the citadels, that you may describe them to future generations. For that is what God is like. He is our God forever and ever, and he will guide us until we die” (Psalm 48:12-14 NLT).
One of the most amazing things about God is His steadiness. His nature is unchanging and we can always trust that He is who He is yesterday, today, and forever. Jerusalem has seen many changes on her face throughout history. Even today, wars continue to tear her apart over something that began as sibling rivalry. But even though she has been torn down, destroyed, rebuilt and scarred, God is still her Sovereign. Psalm 48 is a beautiful comparison of God’s strength and might to the fortification of Jerusalem’s walls. God is named as defender, Great King and Guide—all the way to the end.
