Psalms 21:1-13

THE UNFAILING LOVE OF GOD

Keywords 21:7

For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.

 

1. Glad in your presence (1-7)

King David returned from battle victorious. God had saved David and delivered David’s enemies into his hands. God’s glory was revealed in these victories. David praised God for these victories because through them, he was all the more aware of God’s presence and power. David’s joy came not only from victories but also from God’s presence. He took deeper root in God’s unfailing love. Let us pray for our leaders to trust in the Lord and that their confidence would come from God’s unfailing love.

 

2. God’s wrath against his enemies (8-13)

We can understand God’s intense love for his children in light of his wrath. David was aware of God’s wrath against his enemies. God loves his children but will destroy those who rebel against him. Those who plot evil and devise wicked schemes will be consumed by fire. This will happen when Jesus returns again.

 

Prayer Lord, thank you for your unfailing love for sinners like me. Help me to faithfully love you so that I may be ready on the day of your appearing.

One Word God’s unfailing love
