Psalm 21:7 …through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not we shaken. (NIV)
I know several people who don’t care for the Book of Psalms in general. I’ve never quite understood why, but with this reading I am starting to. While some of the Psalms are so very comforting to me, some seem so vastly different from my experience that it’s hard to relate. Commentary doesn’t help. The source that has given me valuable cultural background is definitely evangelizing through Psalms, and our religious beliefs don’t exactly match up.
Psalm 21:7 …The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling. (NLT)
However…. I sincerely believe that when we seek God, He shows up. So even with the Psalms that don’t seem to resonate with me, I still seek His face. As often as I stumble and flail in this life, Psalm 21:7 definitely speaks to me. I want to be secure in Him, even when I am afraid or confused. I don’t want to be moved, swayed, or shaken. I don’t want to stumble. And when I reach perfection, which I’m pretty sure equates to shuffling off this mortal coil, I will no longer flail and doubt. But until then, I just need to keep seeking, keep asking, keep knocking, keep leaning in to my Savior, knowing He’s got me.
Psalm 21:7 …through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved. (ESV)
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for showing up when I seek You, for comforting me when I allow You, for strengthening my feet and ankles, smoothing my path, and drawing me closer to You through the trials of life. Help me to know You more with every breath. Amen.
Psalm 21:7 …because of the LORD’s constant love he will always be secure. (GNT)
Have a blessed day.
It is beautiful when you feel His touch and hear His voice over you, your fears, your stressors and your failings. “I’ve got this. I know you. I know your situation. Cling to Me. I am here with you.” This morning your devotion spoke just that. Thank you for allowing yourself to be used by HIM in the lives of others. I love you, dear friend.
