The Depth of God’s Love
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.—John 3:16 (ESV)
My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.—Psalm 131:1 (NIV)
Charles Spurgeon said that Psalm 131 was “one of the shortest psalms to read, but one of the longest to learn.” In the psalm, David tells us that pride causes stress. When we surrender and let go of things outside of man’s understanding or control, we turn to God with humble hearts and trust Him with the faith of a child.
Dear Lord, may I walk and grow with You every day of my life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.—John 3:16 (ESV)
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.—Deuteronomy 7:9 (NIV)
Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.—Joshua 21:45 (NIV)
