“The Decrees of His Loyal Love”
by Dona Hake
Psalm 42:8 (CEB)
“By day the Lord commands His faithful love;
by night His song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.”
“By day the Lord commands His faithful love;
by night His song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.”
This scripture reminds me that from the time I awaken till I lay my head down to sleep that I should simply praise His Name. These words remind me of my Lord’s faithful love and His watchful eye. There are many things in this life to distract us from keeping our eyes on Him, these are the things that can tend to distort our focus, and keep us from seeing clearly the things which really matters to Him. The Lord desires that there is an offering of praise proceeding from our hearts no matter what is going on around us.
Psalm 113:3 (CEV)
” From dawn until sunset
the name of the Lord
deserves to be praised.”
Our God promises a faithful love to us each and every day. From the moment our feet hit the floor, He is there. As we go about the demands of our day, He is there. As our day comes to a close, He is still there. His loyal love remains and at the end of the day, no matter what it looks like, He promises to bring us a song to our hearts. No matter what happens today or what you have to face tomorrow…NOTHING can keep you from offering praise to the Living God!
“I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. ” Romans 8:39 (The Message)
