But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.
Psalms 59:16 (NLT)
This verse is a challenge to me. The first bit I can just about say amen to. Yet do I sing every morning with joy about God's unfailing love?
I should sing each morning with joy about God's unfailing love. Yet to be honest, I don't. Hopefully I'll remember this verse beyond my short meditation here, and make it my daily practice.
After all, I can testify with the psalmist that God has been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. I love the tenses in this verse. Because of God's past and present goodness, we will continue to praise Him into the future.
God has been good to us. He is good to us. He will be good to us. So we ought always to sing of His unfailing love for us in Christ crucified.
'Heavenly Father, we praise You for Your unfailing love. May we ever sing in worship of You, as You deserve. For the honour of Your name, amen'
