So much in the Bible is taught by stark contrast! This morning during my time of “Coffee with the Lord” I read such a passage… Psalm 36. Verses 1-4 describe the “wicked” person – not a pretty picture! And then the end of the psalm comes back to that theme… But from verses 5-10 the Lord, and His “steadfast love” is the focus… You really ought to read the entire psalm!
But I don’t want to lose focus… I don’t want to sully the incredible description of our Lord, His perfection and the picture painted of His steadfast love! So here’s verses 5-10 for you inspiration, thanks and praise today!!!
“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!”
