Steadfast Love and Faithfulness?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God abounds in steadfast love and faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The phrase “steadfast love and faithfulness” first appears in Exodus 34:5-6 (ESV) when the Lord was with Moses on Mount Sinai:
“The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there,
and proclaimed the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him
and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.’”
The psalmist makes reference to this event in Psalm 5:7 (ESV):
“But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in the fear of you.”
Stop. Take a moment and humble yourself before God. Bask his steadfast love and faithfulness. Praise him.
