Thanks for taking the time to engage with God’s Word. I pray you are finding encouragement in the psalms. I want to remind you that we will launch new episodes of The Journey podcasts beginning September 5. Stay tuned.
Yesterday we considered God’s amazing love. Let’s continue to do that today. Here are some encouraging verses from Psalm 103.
Psalm 103:17-18
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.
In his book, The Knowledge of the Holy, A. W. Tozer writes, “Love is an essential attribute of God.” Tozer explains that all of God’s attributes are always at work together. One is never held back in order to emphasize another. Let’s think about what that means.
God is eternal, so his love has no beginning or end. There has never been a time when God wasn’t, so his love has always existed. There will never be a time when God ceases to exist, so his love will always exist. It is from everlasting to everlasting.
God is infinite, so his love has no limits. God’s love is not restricted by capacity. His love has no boundaries or stopping point. There will never be a time when God quits loving us.
God is holy, so his love is pure. Even on our best day, our love is tainted by our sinfulness. But God’s love and his motives are completely pure. God’s love for us is perfect.
I don’t know what you are going through today, but I do know this—God loves you! He loves you with an everlasting love. God loves you! He loves you with a limitless love; therefore, he will never stop loving you. God loves you! His motivation in loving you is pure. He paid a great price to redeem you from sin’s slavery. You are significant. You are secure. You are accepted. You are forgiven. You are empowered. You are a child of the living God because of his great love!
Father, thank you for your eternal, limitless, and pure love. Help me respond with a life of thanksgiving and honor demonstrated by obedience in all areas of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
I am not going through anything today except for the joy in my heart knowing God loves me.
I am truly blessed. Now that I believe this even the “bad” things make me smile and I remind myself that God loves me. I trust Him.
Thank you for showing me this.
God bless you.
