Your Steadfast Love
(ESV) Ps 62:11 Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man
according to his work.
My Soul Thirsts for You
A PSALM OF DAVID, WHEN HE WAS IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH.
Ps 63:1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
Oh, how I love the Psalms! David has a connection with, and an understanding of, a Holy God that supersedes any other relationship in the Bible. Whether David is in trouble, or he is in a time of rest, David’s posture before God remains the same—his lips will continually offer praise.
When we have God in our corner, such praise should be automatic. But, so often praise is the last thing we do. For people who have been transformed, we should alter our thinking, which will necessarily change our speech.
May we make a concerted effort to direct our thinking toward thanksgiving, followed by abundant and continual praise.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
