Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous!
Praise befits the upright.
Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
For the word of the LORD is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
(Psalm 33:1-5 ESV)
The one word Old Testaments writers used to describe God's love more than any other is Steadfast. When in poetry, like here, the accompanying term used is God's faithfulness. We can count on it. Often times we get stuck in the mud of our existence and do not see what is all around us. We miss God's love around us. We miss out on the joy of His presence. We feel as if we are in a boat lost at sea, when in fact He is right here, watching, waiting, overseeing the course of our lives. May we not ignore Him today.
