God's Wonderful Love

Praise be to the Lord, for He showed his wonderful love to me while I was in a besieged city. -Psalm 31:21 (NIV)

This morning's assigned scripture readings are about children of God under siege. David is running for his life in the 1 Samuel text and the psalmist is under attack in Psalm 31. Yet even while the psalmist is under attack, God shows God's wonderful love.

If it's not happening now, sooner or later we will find ourselves under attack. Most of us are not looking for such confrontations and most of us are not looking forward to them. But when they come (we'd like to say, "if they come," but that isn't realistic), I pray that we'll still be able to see God's wonderful love for us.

May God grant you the grace, in all things good and bad, to see God's wonderful love for you today.


If you're interested in reading through the Bible in a year, tomorrow's scripture readings are 1 Samuel 24, Psalm 57 and 58, 1 Chronicles 8, and Matthew 8.
