Vs. 32-34 pick up on what we read yesterday in 2 Samuel. Sin has real consequences in life and God, perhaps the first to practice “tough love”, doesn’t promise to protect us from that. But again, here is the promise that God will continue to love steadfastly and even though we sometimes break our end of the deal, God says, “I will not violate my covenant” (vs. 34).
We may not always act or speak with love and we not always feel loveable, but can we trust God’s promise to love us even still? In what ways does God’s promise affect the way you view and respond to the world and the people around you?
Today, offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the promise of steadfast love and commit yourself to living more fully into that love in your daily life – especially when you are dealing with minor annoyances.
