Psalms 36 - Mercy and Faithfulness

5 O Lord, your mercy reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
Psalms 36:5 (GW)

9 Indeed, the fountain of life is with you.
In your light we see light.
10 Continue to show your mercy to those who know you
and your righteousness to those whose motives are decent.
Psalms 36:9-10 (GW)

Reflection of B:

Who can be as merciful and faithful as God? Even the most compassionate person might find it hard to forgive when he/she is hurt badly by another person. Even the most faithful person would betray the trust of another. Otherwise, we won't be seeing so many broken relationships or marriages. Yes, even those who claim to love another person aren't merciful in the way they treat that someone when the relationship is over. They couldn't stay faithful nor keep their promises.

Yet God is not like man. He is forever merciful and faithful to those who trust in Him. Those whose "motives are decent" or pure will experience God's mercy and faithfulness in their life.


Dear Lord,
Though people close to me may have betrayed and deserted me, yet Your faithfulness never end. Thank You for who You are. Thank You.
In Your wonderful name I praise You. Amen.
