TODAY’S VERSE
“But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.”
Psalms 86:15 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
God’s grace is amazing. His love toward us is unfailing. Here David is worshiping God and thanking Him for His compassion and mercy. He praises God for being filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. David knew this, he believed it, he felt it deep in his heart. And yet, how many of us never quite get it? Yes, the God we believe in is the same God that David is referring to, but our heart cannot seem to grasp that He really loves us. What about you? Is something inside of you broken? Perhaps your receiver doesn’t get the love signal. Instead, you feel you have to please God. Deep inside you fear that if God really knew you, He would never love you. But here is the truth. God does know you and fully loves you. He knows the truth about you. He doesn’t see you as an abandoning father does. He doesn’t put demands on you like an evil stepmother. From the time you were thought of by God, He has loved you. You don’t have to earn it, you can’t lose it. Today, you can say deep in your heart the same prayer that David prayed, “God is full of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, help me really understand the depths of your love for me. Help me grasp your compassion, embrace your mercy and really begin to see that your love and faithfulness is unfailing. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN
