‘Praise
the Lord’(Psalm 103:1-2,20-22). Let’s praise Him for His ‘steadfast
love’. He is ‘abounding in steadfast love’(Psalm 103:8). How are we to
respond to His ‘steadfast love’? Are we to say, ‘God loves me. I can do
what I like’? No! We must not think like this. We’re not to say, ‘I’ll
keep on sinning. God will keep on forgiving’(Romans 6:1-2). God’s Word
tells us something very different. Loved by God, we learn to love Him.
When God’s ‘steadfast love’ has really touched our hearts, it changes
our lives. This is the great change which the Psalmist has in mind when
he writes, ‘As the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His
steadfast love toward those who fear Him... The steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him’(Psalm 103:11,17). Let’s thank God for His love - and live to please Him!
