Power in perfect love - Psalm 60-62

In Psalm 62:11-12 we read that there are two things God has declared about Himself: Power belongs to Him and He is Perfect love. What a marvelous truth to meditate on today and allow God to chisel your hear faith it. Many men today want power. But the abuse of power is the downfall of man. Every man wants love, as well. But the abuse of love is the downfall of man. God is perfect in power and perfect in love. God is balanced by one over the other. God can not abuse His power because His perfect love keeps power in check. God can't simply love aimlessly because His power keeps Him in check. Since we were created in the image of God we too should be able allow our desire for love and quest for power to be a balance for one another. Power can corrupt and love can give in. Allow one to balance the other.
