PLACE YOUR HOPE IN GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE

Psalm 147:7-8a & 10-12 (NLT), Psalm 130:7 (NLT), Psalms 63:3

Sing out your thanks to the LORD; sing praises to our God with a harp. He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, … *He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the LORD’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love. Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! *O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows. *Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

The greatness and unfailing nature of God’s love is one thing that the world and majority of believers remain ignorant of, thus affecting our countenance and attitude to life. The reason the countenance and attitudes of many believers can be very erratic is because of the kind of temporal things they focus and fix their hope on, like the opinions of people, their feelings and emotions, what is happening in the news, the state of their bank account, social media, various trends and fads and so many things like this.

What we should focus on the most is God’s great love for us. We actually need God’s grace and strength to understand the vastness and various dimensions of His great love for us. Here is the prayer Apostle Paul prayed for believers in Ephesians 3:16-19 (NLT): “I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

The more you understand the various dimensions of God’s unfailing love for you, the more you will be able to place your hope in Him. As you focus more on God’s unfailing love, you will be more hopeful, joyful and thankful and His goodness and abundance will be activated in your life.

Prayer:
My faith is in Your unfailing love for me, dear Lord! Please flood my heart with the revelation of Your great love for me.
