Steadfast Love and Faithfulness!

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.

According to the notes in the English Standard Version, the “abundance of your steadfast love” is referenced 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 in his steadfast love and faithfulness. Praise him.

Exalted Above All?

Exalted Above All?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God’s name and his word have been exalted above all. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 138 is a Psalm of David. David gives a clear declaration of thanks, praise and worship. David references bowing down toward God’s holy temple. The psalm is personal. David had a personal relationship with God. When David called, God answered him.

Psalm 138:1-3 (ESV) says,

“I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
On the day I called, you answered me;
my strength of soul you increased.”

May your conversation with God allow the strength of your soul to be so increased.

The Lord Will Give What Is Good?

The Lord Will Give What Is Good?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the Lord will give what is good. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Whether a personal revival or a large-scale one, people’s lives change. At the outset of Psalm 85, the psalmist wonders if God will continue to be angry. Later, the psalmist is hopeful.

In Psalm 85:10-13 (ESV) the psalmist is confident when he begins by saying, “Yes.”

“Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
Yes, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way.”

God can bless abundantly more than we ask or imagine. The Lord can give not only bountiful crops for the land, he can also change our hearts. Are you open to change? There is no time like the present.

Steadfast Love?

Steadfast Love?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know of your steadfast love. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God’s love is amazing. God’s sacrifice of his only begotten son on Calvary is a dramatic example of his love for mankind.

Psalm 36:5-12 (ESV) provides David, the psalmist’s, perspective of God’s love:

“Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Lord.

How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.

Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you,
and your righteousness to the upright of heart!
Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
There the evildoers lie fallen;
they are thrust down, unable to rise.”

Develop a serious relationship with God. Through his son, Jesus, God has provided the way of salvation. Don’t hesitate to seek, and you shall find. Bow your head and talk to God. Directly. Ask him to become Lord of your life and to extend his steadfast love. Now. Give thanks.
