Psalms Meditation – July 25

“I Will Sing of Thy Steadfast Love”

Read Psalm 89:1-4

“Steadfast love” and “faithfulness” — God’s relationship with his creation and his steadiness in his covenant — make a tune to sing. The two words are themes and provide the melodic structure upon which this moving song is constructed.

PRAYER: O God, within the sometimes puzzling experiences of this pilgrimage, I will gratefully sing of your steadfast love and your faithfulness which, despite my stuttering steps and recurrent doubt, steadily develop a redeeming purpose in my life. Amen.

by Eugene Peterson, “A Year with the Psalms” p. 99
