SOMETHING WE CAN RELY ON

Psalm 13:5-6 (GN )

I rely on your constant love. I will be glad because you will rescue me. 

I will sing to you O Lord because you have been good to me.

I wonder what we're all relying on to help us through each day? Is it our own abilities, is it a family member or friend, or maybe our job? I love the fact that the Psalmist says he's relying specifically on God's constant love. Another version says he trusts in God's unfailing love but I like the thought of relying on it because I can relate to that in a way I can understand. 

We're leaning and relying on the fact that God loves us unfailingly, unconditionally even when we blow it, and if it wasn't for His love we would be bereft. Although everything else can be taken from us, no one can take His love away from us!

His love always sees the best in us, always gives us the benefit of the doubt, always forgives, is long-suffering and kind and never gives up on us. No wonder we need God's love so much and can rely on it, and His promise of rescue! Whether it's physical rescue we need, mental health issues, financially or socially we can turn to the God who loves us and know He's bringing about our rescue.

So I think we can all say we've got something to sing about today because the Lord has definitely been good to all of us. We can all sing a song of praise in our hearts whatever day it is, and scripture reminds us that we're to put on the garment of praise to dispel the spirit of heaviness we all experience sometimes. God has given us the antidote.😊

So let's do some roof raising praising wherever we are and give the God who loves us, all our heart felt praise and thanks today. Amen.😊
