The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in Psalm 57:9-10,
"I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies."
As David looked for refuge in the Lord from the danger of his enemies, he found God to be loving and faithful. A perfect refuge in times of trouble- a perfect refuge for any time!
David celebrates God's love and faithfulness by pointing to it twice in this psalm, verses 3 and 10. We today count on God's love and faithfulness to us when we embrace him in faith. Out of his love for us, God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for our sins, and out of his faithfulness we know we will escape his judgment of us because we placed our faith in him. Paul tells us, "He [God] will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."
God is our perfect refuge from all trouble because of his love towards us and his faithfulness to us!
