Wow. It’s been a little while. It’s now 1:13am and instead of writing an essay I have decided to take a break and write. That last few weeks have been musical madness but has been awesome. I got to spend sometime at home and lead worship at the church I grew up in. School has been kicking my behind as I go into the last 5 classes of my college career. I feel like it’s been an eternity. The last few months in the midst of craziness I’ve been dwelling or trying to on the unfailing love of God. In Psalm 13, David says “How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?” David continues to beg for God, but in verse 5 David says this through the midst of his distress, “but I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for He has been good to me.”
As I began to keep going through the Psalms and the Old Testament all through it mentions the unfailing love of God. Sometimes we have this view of the Old Testament God being this war-hungry, angered God. However intertwined in the history of nation of Israel is deliverance and the restoration of the nation because of the unfailing love of God. No matter how many times they mess up and eventually are even placed into slavery. God promises to restore them and redeem Israel. Our sin is never to great or to overwhelming for God. It maybe to much for us, but the blood Christ has covered us. It’s not by our actions or anything we do that we are made right, but only by the blood and grace of Christ. Through his unfailing love.
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
