God’s Loving Activity in Our Lives

Zechariah 13-14; Psalms 147; Luke 15 

“The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of stars…The Lord sustains the humble…He provides food…the Lord delights in those who fear him…he strengthens…He grants peace…and satisfies you…He sends his word…He has done this for no other nation…”

Psalm 147:2-4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 14, 18, 20

God’s activity in saving, restoring, healing, binding, providing, delighting in, strengthening, granting peace, satisfying, and revealing his Word to his people is astounding. This is not an absentee person who has visitation rights on weekends and holidays, but rather, he is the benevolent, Father God. This is a personal, loving, and ever-present God who rescues us and then transforms us with his love. We are not worthy of this attention and care. Yet, our God is for us, not against us. His love for us is deeply personal.

Why not respond to that love today and say, “Thank you”?

”Thank you Father God, for your love expressed to me in so many ways. I am yours and you are mine.”
