Scripture lesson: Psalm 36:5-11 “Steadfast Love”
Time to reflect: This passage keeps using a word that has no direct English equivalent to the Hebrew original. The word's base meaning is “covenant loyalty” but implies someone, in this case God, being faithful in a relationship beyond what is necessary or required, faithful even when the other party has been unfaithful.
Moving Through The Day: Give a prayer of thanksgiving that God has this kind of extreme faithful caring toward us.
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men
find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
May the foot of the proud not come against me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
