How can our God be just, and His love be unfailing, neverending, and steadfast?  Surely, our sin of years past, yesterday, even today are enough to demand his judgement against us – yet we live.  Why?  What love has overcome the legal demand of our sin – death and separation from God?

The cross is the ground by which God’s love flows to each of us, who have trusted Him.  It’s because of the cross that each of us daily can approach God without fear, knowing that all our sin is paid for.  God’s love is manifested by His doing everything that needed to be done to make a way for us to be reconciled to Him, at great cost to Himself, so that we would know, love, and enjoy Him forever.  I hope that is good news to you today, that your ears never tire of hearing it, and your heart yearns to meditate pursue the depth of God’s love, which is better than life.

Psalm 63:

“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me. But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they shall be a portion for jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall exult,
for the mouths of liars will be stopped.”

Grace and Peace,
Adam
