Psalm 69:16 Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.
King David here cries out to God to answer him. He reminds God (NOT that God needs reminding ... but the reminding is for David!) that his (God's) love is steadfast and his mercy is abundant. Because God is loving AND because God is merciful - David knew that at the end of the day he could count on a response from God!
Don't you get frustrated when you email, call or text someone and they don't get back to you? So you try again with the same results. If you go through this enough times you will eventually stop calling (or emailing or texting). With God, my friends, you will never have to worry about not getting a response. He WILL respond. Now perhaps it may be with a different response than the one you might have wanted ... but it will be a response none the less.
All of us could stand to pray more than we do. Maybe this verse will be the catalyst for you to do so. Remind yourself that God's love is both steadfast and good AND His mercy is abundant!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
