Unfailing Love

O. T. #1241  "Unfailing Love"
July 16, 2018
Psalm 48


LET IT GLOW

Where can we go for unfailing live?  People fail us and we fail people. But there is One who will always love us. That is good news.

Mt. Zion is in reference to the city of Jerusalem, which was located upon one of the hills of Judea. In that city God was worshiped and praised. The author, whether King David or another, says in verses 9-10:
O God, we meditate on Your unfailing love as we worship in Your Temple. As Your name deserves, O God, You will be praised to the ends of the earth. Your strong right hand filled with victory.

Jerusalem,. and the Temple, were considered to be the place of God's presence in the world. Revelation 21 speaks of the New Jerusalem. Instead of going up to the Temple to meet with God, He will come down to be among us. God became a man, Jesus Christ, and came down to live among us (John 1:14). Wherever God reigns, there is peace, security, and love. His presence, protection, and love to His people was in Jerusalem.

Do we meditate on God's unfailing love? It is always there ready to fill us.

LET IT GROW

In verses 13 and 14, Israel was told to pass on this blessing to future generations.
For God is our God forever. He will be our guide even unto death. Guide is lead, carry away, to drive away. 

LET IT GO

Thank You Lord for Your unfailing love.
Guide me today Jesus.
Help me share Your love with others that I meet today.
