Title: God’s Love Is …

(S) cripture:
    Psalm 103:8-14 (NASB) The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. 9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust.

(O) bservation:
    This declaration about God by the psalmist brings great joy to Christians. The psalmist follows this statement with others that expand and explain it. Verses 9-14 give great promises to God’s people: No accusations, sin removed, great love and compassion, God knows our humanity. These bring stability and joy to our lives.

(A) pplication:
    We have a God who loves, take cares and wants the very best for us. Today I want to live that life and be found fulfilled in Him. I want to experience the promises of this psalm. I want to be faithful and show my love for God who loves me like that.

(P) rayer:
    Lord, I love you and want to live faithfully for you. Thank you for all you provide for my life. Thank you for taking care of my sin and loving me. Amen
