Your Steadfast Love
Do you ever feel like everything in this world changes so rapidly that it feels almost impossible to keep up? With 24/7 news, social media, family, friends, and co-workers with solid opinions, how hard is it to keep up with what’s happening today?
I remember in early 2020 there was a massive debate about whether zinc would help build your immune system. Some experts said yes; others said don’t waste your money. Is cow’s milk better than nut milk? What about raw dairy? Or one of my favorite debates is whether carbs or fat are the true enemies of weight loss!
There’s just so much new information, outdated information, and old ways of thinking that it’s hard to make informed decisions and opinions today. Not only is it hard to make an informed decision, but many are looking for the next best thing, which typically leaves us feeling empty and defeated. But what we can always count on is God’s love for us. King David says of the Lord,
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord. (ESV)
While the world always has something new, God is steadfast and unchanging. His love for us is precious and strong. So, if you feel overwhelmed with what’s on the news or the latest press release from the White House, remember that God is constant. He does not change. In , the writer sums this up so well, saying,
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
What a relief that the God of the universe is unchanging. He does not get swayed by politics, feelings, or world events. He is constant, and He is good.
How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings ( ). Thank You for being constant in a changing world. Thank You for allowing us to take refuge in you when we feel overwhelmed by the world. Thank You for providing all the answers we need. Father, when we get caught up in the world’s ways, remind us that You are steadfast, and we can always find refuge in You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
