Vav

⁴¹ Let thy steadfast love come to me, O LORD, thy salvation according to thy promise.

⁴² then shall I have an answer for those who taunt me, for I trust in thy word.

⁴³ And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in thy ordinances.

⁴⁴ I will keep thy law continually, for ever and ever.

⁴⁵ and I shall walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts.

⁴⁶ I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame.

⁴⁷ for I find my delight in thy commandments, which I love.

⁴⁸ I revere thy commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on thy statutes.

As I reflect upon these verses this morning I am reminded of the Lord’s reminder to us in Matthew chapter six verses twenty-five and twenty-six. “Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, what you will wear.  Is life not more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not more valuable than they are? As I look at these verses in relationship to verse forty-three of this psalm I am reminded of the song Standing on the Promises of Christ My King.

The words of this song reflects the truth of the words that Paul wrote about in Romans chapter eight verse thirty-eight and thirty-nine of the true relationship that a Christian can experiences with Christ in their life.  “For I am convinced that neither death or life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any power, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
