Searching: Psalms 120:5

Hello Beloved,

When I opened my Bible this morning it went to Psalm 120. So, I read it and do you know what it was about?  The tongue!  I read it and then it made me do a little research..  I like to know what words mean, do you?   It talks about lying lips and a deceitful tongue. Now read verse 5.
 Psalms 120: 5 " Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar."
OK,  where is Mesech and Kedar? What do they mean?  Well , this is what I found out.
Back in Genesis, we have Noah and his wife and three sons and wives( 8saved = new beginnings) who are saved in an Ark from the Flood.  When they finally rest the ark and they are told to go forth and replenish the earth.( start families). So, one of the sons of Noah was called Japheth and he had a son called Meshech. The name Meshech means ; drawing out. Well, the place where Meshech traveled to is what we would now in 2012, call Russia.   In Ezekiel 38 :16, ( please read the entire chapter) it tells that they will in the last days come up against Israel.
Now, Kedar , meaning : dark skinned.   In Genesis 25:13, it shows that Kedar is the second son of Ishmael. They were a nomadic tribe living in the NW Arabian Desert. Stretching from Yeman to the Persian Gulf and from Oman to Jordon and Iraq.  We also know these countries will play a role in the last days against Israel.  One to the far North and one to the South of Israel.
So I now know where these countries are.  So to get back to the reason for this I go back to Psalms 120. I wanted to know what verse 5 meant and I think I know now...  Maybe you will agree, maybe you won't but for me it makes sense.  Are you ready?  Here we go....
I think it may mean that living far from God, but longing for salvation..  Made sense to me... Some days I feel like I am living far from God but longing for Him.. I know that he will never leave me nor forsake me, but, some days I forget that and I suffer for forgetting...  MY tongue gets in the way sometimes and I have to really work hard at bringing it back in...."" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
Isn't it wonderful what reading God's Word can make you think about?  I love The Word and I love the research that goes into learning about The Word.
Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet and you are at your
most beautiful when you smile.... God Bless you and keep you with arms tenderly about you.  Your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie
