G-et into God's Word
Psalm 125:1-5
'Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore. The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil. Lord, do good to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers. Peace be on Israel.'
R-eflect into God's Word
How have you sensed the Lord surrounding you with His love?
Many times, we are in a situation where we struggle. We don't know what to do, we are hopeless, we are full of burdens, we are frustrated and to the point, we finally gave up. But, there are people who are willing to help, to comfort, to sympathize, to cheer you, to love you, and encourage you. People who you not know but God knows. God uses them for us to feel His love.
This illustrates a beautiful truth from Psalm 125. The image in verse 2 reminds us how the bustling city of Jerusalem is, indeed, flanked by surrounding hills - among them the Mount of Olives, Mount Zion, and Mount Moriah. In the same way, God surrounds His people - supporting and standing guard over our souls "both now and forevermore." Thus on tough days, look up, "unto the hills", as the psalmist puts it (Ps.121:1). God awaits with strong help, steady hope, and everlasting love.
O-bey to transform
Are you facing tough days these past weeks? or struggling for something? or in a burden? and who shared his love with you today?
W-restle in Prayer
Lord, when we face tough days, surround ourselves with your comforting love.
