When I thought, “My foot slips,”
your
steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
Comments:
I am so thankful
for the steadfast love of the Lord.
My students and
frequent readers know my affinity for hesed,
the Hebrew word translated as "steadfast love". It is his tender mercies
(hesed) and loyal love (hesed) that catch me when my foot is
slipping.
Similarly, it is
his comfort that cheers me up when my soul has been burdened by the anxieties
of the world.
There are certainly several cares listed in this psalm, including v. 20, which I will probably blog about in the future on my Compelled2 blog. But for today, it is
enough to know that his love holds me up and his consolations cheer me up.
After meditating on these verses, I am feeling
blessed...But I still might not turn on the TV news tonight!
