Boundless love

Our Daily Bread
If you read my blog, you may notice that I like movies a lot.  One thing I don't care for is remakes of old movies that really don't add any value or anything new.  One recent example is Endless Love.  Yawn...  ha!

There is an example of endless, boundless love that I never tire of reading or hearing about -- the love of our God for his people!  Praise God!  David talks about it in Psalm 36 (and many other psalms). For today, we realize that our lives in God will not always be sunshine, rainbows and unicorns, however, we know without a shadow of a doubt that God is with us!  We have seen it over and over in our lives if we just stop and think about it.  Take time today to thank God for his presence in your life.  Ask what we can do for him!

Lord, thank you for your endless and boundless love.  Please help us give ourselves completely to you!

Psalm Sunday
We will read Psalm 132 today.  Just a few more songs of ascents left to read!  This one centers on David and his place is Israel's history.  They remind God of David's faithfulness (as if they need to) when singing this song.  Very interesting stuff!

Psalm 132

A song of ascents.

1 Lord, remember David
    and all his self-denial.
2 He swore an oath to the Lord,
    he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “I will not enter my house
    or go to my bed,
4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes
    or slumber to my eyelids,
5 till I find a place for the Lord,
    a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 We heard it in Ephrathah,
    we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:
7 “Let us go to his dwelling place,
    let us worship at his footstool, saying,
8 ‘Arise, Lord, and come to your resting place,
    you and the ark of your might.
9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;
    may your faithful people sing for joy.’”
10 For the sake of your servant David,
    do not reject your anointed one.
11 The Lord swore an oath to David,
    a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants
    I will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant
    and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
    on your throne for ever and ever.”
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion,
    he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever;
    here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions;
    her poor I will satisfy with food.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation,
    and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.
17 “Here I will make a horn grow for David
    and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
    but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”
