Psalm 90:14 Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. v.15 Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.
What a lovely thought - to be satisfied with God's unfailing love each morning. Before we begin each day, even before we get out of bed in the morning and dash out into the busyness that's waiting or even the 'same old routine' can we just stop for a minute and receive God's unfailing love for us and let it soak in? Let's remember His love brings no condemnation but it brings acceptance. It brings His peace, His righteousness and His joy. His love wraps us around like a security blanket which we can take with us everywhere we go. How blessed we are!
The Psalmist goes on and asks for something quite dramatic. He's obviously experienced hard times of great misery and suffering where bad things have happened to him. If any of us have had those experiences then we can join with the Psalmist and believe that God is turning them all around for our good because of Jesus and His finished work on the cross and the New Covenant. (Romans 8:28)
Our future in Him is bright, hope filled, because He has promised to give us a long satisfying life, (Psalm 91:16) a life of abundance to the full till it overflows.(John 10:10) God is in the 'turning things around' business so whatever our experience so far, He can and will turn it round in a lovely way for us as we look to Him in faith.
Be encouraged as we start a new week, God goes before us, is protecting us and has plans to bless us in the coming days regardless of what happens in the world and we will sing with joy to the end of our lives. Let's reach out to Him and receive it and believe it today. Amen.
