Julie quoted this verse in her post yesterday when she was talking about Jesus - our Hope.
This verse inspired such imagery in my heart as I read it. Let's visualize what David is saying in this verse about God and us. We can do this together.
Picture this: God's unfailing love resting on you. Sounds lovely doesn't it? It's not just lovely... it's absolutely true.
His love -
God's unfailing love ... His unfailing love ... His unfailing love
r e s t i n g upon me!
What is God placing upon me? His unfailing love.
Is that what you usually see God placing on you?
Do you sometimes see something else? What?
Listen to His heart and His words. It's not guilt; it's not shame; it's not judgement, and it's not blame nor anger. It's love. It's unfailing love based on Him and Who He is. It's not based on us. We often make it about us though, don't we? Sisters, it's not based on what we are prone to do/think/say or what we don't do/think/say.
God's unfailing love rests upon me.
Why?
Because we place our hope in God and we now belong to Him - through Christ Jesus. And because that's just the way He is - it's just Who He is. It's about Him after all.
Here again is one of my favourite verses that has helped me grasp this truth that it's about God doing and not about us doing anything but placing our hope in Him.
This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength..." Isaiah 30:15
Father God, I need your Spirit to lead me into truth. The enemy lies continually to me and messes with my head so that I don't believe in my heart that what you say is true. Holy Spirit, make my heart and mind aware when I'm buying into the lies that diminish who You are and what you say. I want to know You for Who you really are - for Who You say You are. You are gracious and good, loving and kind... to me. Thank You.
