“1Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. 2Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test y heart and my mind. 3For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.” – Psalm 26:1-3 (ESV)
The love of God, His steadfast love, is for me to remember at all times. His steadfast love is firmly fixed and immovable, which indicates that it is forever. Since it is forever, I owe forever to the remembrance of it. I have to be as committed to the Lord as He is to me.
As I was studying, I read in my ESV commentary for the passage that “the faithful…as a general pattern of life…have trusted in the LORD without wavering”. As I profess to be a follower of Christ, I have to have that same approach. I have to love the Lord as He has loved me, forever. I have to be in the business of being the example for all and “keeping” in His commandments and His love out in front of me for all to see.
God has provided a love for me that never fails. I have to do the same for Him. I know that I will fail, but I my love should be for Him at all times and I should be acting on that love for Him. As I do, I will move every closer to the trusting of “the LORD without wavering”.
When you love the Lord, is that love forever? Are you loving and keeping the Lord’s love for your needed “moments” in life? What if we focused on loving and continuing to love our Lord as He loves us?
