"Faithful Love"
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 107:43 (HCSB) Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things and consider the Lord’s acts of faithful love.
Psalm 107:43 (HCSB) Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things and consider the Lord’s acts of faithful love.
Devotional Reading:
The Psalmist recalls the merciful work of God to deliver people from trouble and distress. We serve a powerful God who frequently uses his power on behalf of his people. Through his acts of deliverance he demonstrates his love. We are loved by the One who controls all the power of the universe. But God has not shown us his love so that we can relax and enjoy the feeling of being loved. Nor has God delivered us from trouble so that we can go on about our lives in safety and comfort. All that God does is for this end: to lead us to consider the faithful love of the Lord. Out of his love, God has created us for himself. We were made to live in constant communion with God. Some people treat this as a curse, insisting that they be allowed to live for money or power or drugs or sex or television or a million other minuscule pleasures. Those things are not even mites of dust compared to the glory of God. We were created to dwell in God’s glory, to worship him in his holiness, to celebrate his love. Anything else is folly. What is your response to God’s goodness? Do you take his blessings as a call for worship? Do you praise him for his love? Do you celebrate even in times of trouble and distress, knowing he will deliver you? Or do you sit back, turn on the television, and forget the God who has blessed you with his faithful love?
Keep the Son in your eyes,
Keep the Son in your eyes,
