A Journey Through the Psalms: Reflections for Worried Hearts and Troubled Times
Preaching the Psalms Cycles A, B, C
The opening lines of this psalm proclaim the love of God that is both trustworthy and lasting. It's not only lasting, it's permanent. In a world where human relationships are pretty much disposable, the notion of trusting, permanent love registers somewhere in the mind as a fantasy. With many people on third and fourth marriages, lifelong commitment is just not seen as real. In a world where markets and profitability have overruled morality, friendships fall to the dictates of making money and maintaining one's job.
