by Andy Krahn “For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.” -Psalm 57:10 Have you ever had a day when you can’t seem to do anything right? You burn your
toast; can’t find your keys and you drop your coffee as you head out the door! You wonder, “what’s wrong with me!” Hopefully you turn to the Lord for help, and He grants you peace! When I think of God’s Steadfast Love, my thoughts turn to the Psalms of King David. They read on like a rollercoaster of praising the Lord for all that he has done for him and lamenting the attacks of his enemies. Many of the Psalms were written during the time when David had to flee from Saul. Psalm 57 begins as a plea to the Lord for mercy to grant him relief from his enemies. But by verse 7 we see that David has trust in God's steadfast love to deliver him. He begins to praise the Lord, “My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.” Sometimes we are like David. We find ourselves wallowing in our own problems until we realize that God is with us. During Lent we focus a lot on the trial and burden of sin. We see Christ's death as the price of our sins. But we rejoice on Easter when we see the fulfillment of God’s steadfast love in Christ's resurrection. Whether our trials in life are self-inflicted, from sin or from an evil force, we can stand firm in God’s steadfast love to be there with us. His steadfast love will keep us strong. Prayer: Dear God, forgive me when I don’t see your steadfast love and don’t trust in your deliverance. Strengthen me and allow me to praise you in all things. In Jesus name, Amen.
