While reading in the Psalms this week, I was struck by yet another verse that was so simple, so unfitting in the Psalms, that it caught my eye.
Ps. 18:1 "I love you, O LORD, my strength."
David goes on for quite a while about all the things God has done in his life, from judgment to blessing. I really appreciate how David's conclusion after all of these events is actually in the first verse. Through life we see the many miracles of God every day. If we were to stop and think, I think we'd have a Psalm to write of our own that would go on for many pages. But, how often do we forget these things and let our current circumstances lead us away from being firm in who God is, how we feel towards Him and most of all, how we act towards Him? I'm challenged by this Psalm, as I hope you are, too. I hope we can see that it is possible to go through life allowing our cold hearts to render the miracles ineffective in our own lives. Let's have a conclusion like David! "I love you, O LORD, my strength." That should be our response and it is surely the response He desires most of all!
