Take Refuge and Rejoice?

Take Refuge and Rejoice?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who take refuge in you and rejoice. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The psalmist urges rejoicing for those who find sanctuary in the Lord’s protection. The words of Psalm 5:11-12 (ESV) offer hope:

“But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover him with favor as with a shield.”

These verses describes God’s protection and combine it with singing and honoring God. Do likewise.

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.

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.
