DAILY?READINGS: 1 Kings 20; Jeremiah 32:1-25; Hebrews 3
I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord. Isaiah 63:7
How excellent is Thy lovingkindness, O God. Psalm 36:7
Hear me, O Lord: for Thy lovingkindness is good. Psalm 69:16
One modern rendering of “lovingkindness” is “steadfast love”. Unswerving, immoveable, unchanging, such is God’s precious love towards us. David describes God’s lovingkindness as excellent—costly and precious. When he prays, he pleads that God would answer him according to the constant wellspring of that steadfast love. When the soul appreciates the worth of His love—it wants for nothing else. —Pete Smith
The love of God is greater far,
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell. —F. M. Lehman
