Psalm 36:10,

“O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,

And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.”

i usually have a plan. i usually write from my old journal. i usually have a method. this morning i do not.

i usually write from where i have already been. i usually rehash a road i have already traveled. today i will not.

this morning, i will divert my path. this morning, i will take the other road.

i entered two words into the search field on studylight.org and found psalm 36:10. i knew the verse, just not the reference.

i do not understand. i cannot comprehend the depth and the richness of the love and glory of God. i am too small to grasp His infinite wonder, i am too small to grapple with the mere thought of Him. but He loves me. despite me, He loves me. even though i will dissappoint both Him, myself and others around me, He still loves me.

why? of what value am i? what worth can a man have that would make the Ruler of the universe love him?

none.

He loves me simply because i am His. i was made to worship & serve, to love because i am loved…and that is amazing.

i have no worth on my own. i cannot generate substance for myself. all that i am, all that i can be comes from Him. the cells that make up my body were made by Him. the chemicals that make up those cells, were made by Him. the elements that make up those chemicals were made by him, and so on, and so on, and so on…my very being is held together by His will alone. His thought and desire sustains me and the world that He places before me.

He is my provider in every way imaginable. i cannot thank Him enough. i cannot praise Him enough. He is my ROCK and my Fortress. He is my Deliverer. In Him will i trust.

Praise the Name of Jesus!

amen.
