Psalm 121:1-3 NASB "I will raise my eyes to the mountains; from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who watches over you will not slumber."

Today's verses come from a Psalm that describes the safety that is found in the Lord. Lets look at several verses to better understand how we are truly secure in God.
“I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord”. When this verse was written, robbers hid in the mountains, waiting for travelers to become their unsuspecting victims. Not only that, but wild animals also posed a threat.
Our lives can be like mountainous territory as we wonder what dangers lurk in the future. Thankfully, the Lord is our helper; He is able to protect us, regardless of what lies ahead. He knows everything and has all the power necessary to rescue us.
“He will not allow your foot to slip”. God has provided everything we need in order to avoid sin. The Holy Spirit directs and empowers us, and the Word lights our paths. Yet at times, we choose to sin. Even then, He upholds us, enabling us to walk in His way.
These opening verses focus on the Lord’s ability to protect us. Whether trouble originates with others, external circumstances, or our own sin, we can find ourselves in danger and at risk. Thankfully, we have a loving Father who leads us to safety.

Matthew 5:43-44 NKJV "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, . . "

If we responded simply from natural impulses, we’d be kind to those who are kind to us and vengeful toward those who hurt us. It’s human nature.
Jesus clearly teaches us to love even our enemies. And He lived out what He taught: Christ loved us enough to die for us while we were still sinners. He offered His love without waiting for us to be deserving of it.
When we respond to hostility with love, something remarkable happens. First, the Father is pleased, which brings us joy, peace, and deep satisfaction. Second, we get to watch how God moves in the relationship. Sometimes hearts soften. Sometimes reconciliation happens. Sometimes we simply become more like Jesus in the process.
There’s also an internal transformation. We become aware that the Holy Spirit is working from within, enabling divine love to flow through us in ways we couldn’t manufacture on our own. Scripture lists nine qualities of spiritual fruit that He produces in us—and love is the first one mentioned.
Loving difficult people isn’t natural—it’s supernatural. And it’s one of the clearest ways others see Christ in us.

This week’s verse was chosen by staff member Cory B. This verse resonates with Cory because, although his heart is not always with the Lord, God directs and guides his way. He knows that we aren’t perfect people, but we don’t have to be because God is perfect.

“A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.” Proverbs 16:9

Matthew 22:37-39 NLT "Jesus replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’"

Jesus told the disciples, “In everything ... treat people the same way you want them to treat you”. This is commonly called the Golden Rule, and most of us would probably agree that, in theory, it’s a good foundation for a healthy relationship. In practice, though, the principle is tough to live up to consistently.
It’s easy to love when others treat us well. But we often respond differently when their behavior is hurtful or unpleasant. The truth is, Jesus meant for us to love others all the time, not just when they’re lovable. Regardless of their attitude toward us, we are to think about the relationship qualities we value—like loyalty, trust, encouragement, forgiveness, acceptance, and protection—and let these flow from us toward the other person.
When we care for others in the way the Lord prescribes, relationships thrive and deepen. Loving as Jesus commanded is impossible on our own, but the good news is, we don’t have to do it alone. The Holy Spirit lives in us and empowers us to love in ways we never could by ourselves.
Our hope is that others will treat us with kindness, patience, and grace. We can ask God to show us one relationship where He wants to work through us today, and trust Him to provide what we need to love as Jesus loves.
