Contemplative Bible Reading

Psalm 130:7 (New Living Translation)

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
for with the Lord there is unfailing love.
His redemption overflows.

Tired? Lonely? Distraught? Just having a bad day?

There is unfailing love with the Lord God.

Boy, that sure is simple. There must be something more to this? Well, of course. There is always something more to this. Still, there isn’t much else to this when I compare the effort to the result.

God is present. God is full of unfailing love. I can sit here and stew in my troubles. I can take a step and be in God’s unfailing love. Hmmm. Seems like I have the decision and I have the power to sit or step.

Thank you God for the power. Thank you God for the destination. Thank you God for the unfailing love.
