Full of His Unfailing Love

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

I’m here again with my little ring of index cards. These verses have comforted me ever since I headed to college. When I am having a rough day, I bust them out and work through them. I thought I would share one of these verses with you today.

Psalm 33:4-5 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

I love this verse. It is an encouraging reminder for when I’m feeling cynical - like the whole world is falling apart. It reminds me that, while we do live in a broken world, we also live in a world that is made by, sustained by, and loved by God. I need this verse when I find myself sucked into watching the news about some heated controversy or horrible tragedy.

When I read, “For the word of the Lord is right and true,” I’m reminded of all the times that God’s word has comforted, convicted, and guided me and my loved ones. No matter how the world changes, God’s word remains.

When I read, “He is faithful in all he does,” I find myself thinking of how the Lord has been faithful in my own life. I think of all the promises He has kept and all the times He has stayed with me even when I have not stayed with Him. I am so grateful for our God’s faithfulness!

When I read, “The Lord loves righteousness and justice,” I remember all the stories in the Bible where God has toppled the corrupt and rescued the oppressed. I also think of how He has rescued me and disciplined me when I needed it. I’ve seen and experienced His love of righteousness and justice.

Finally, when I read, “The earth is full of his unfailing love,” I find myself thinking of all the people I know who show God’s love to others. I think of all the times that God has provided for my family through others. I find myself thinking of mission organizations, charities, foster parents, volunteers, and all the people who show love through simple acts of prayer, meals, cards, and company. Pretty soon, my mind is filled to the brim with examples of God’s love covering the earth.

Within a few minutes of reading this verse, I am strengthened and encouraged. I hope it can be an encouragement to you, as well.

Have a Delightful Day,
Naomi :)
