Psalms 109:21 (ESV Strong's)
21 But you, O GOD my Lord,
deal on my behalf for your name's sake;
because your steadfast love is good, deliver me!
God’s Love is Good
God loves us. That thought should be the one thought that permeates our minds. We get so many bad thoughts in our minds. The world tries to shame us. The world tries to marginalize us. The world tries to set standards for us that we can never achieve. But, God simply loves us the way we are. In this psalm the writer is talking about how someone has betrayed him (in the New Testament this passage will be used in correlation with Judas and his betraying Jesus). When we have other trying to hurt us, or betray us, or causing us harm, the one thing we can rejoice about is that God’s love is permanent. This is the truth in this song. We will always have others who don’t show us unconditional love and have our best interest at heart. But, the truth is, God does. He loves us, encourages us, equips us and continues to make sure He protects us. His love is completely unconditional. That is the knowledge of God that cast down the poor strongholds of our minds. We often think we are only valued when we have the love and/or appreciation of others. In reality, we are loved continually by God. That should be the thought we spend mediating upon.
