Love for God

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.” Psalm 91:14 (NIV)

God does not deliver us from evil because are we righteous in keeping His commandments, but because we abide in His love. We do not disregard His commandments, but we rightly understand them in the biblical plan of redemption and in their fulfillment in the life of Jesus Christ. God is not obligated to us because of what we do, but because of who He is.

We are rescued from our trying predicaments because we are faithful to accept and follow in His love, as children of God. We are protected because He is our Heavenly Father and we love Him because of the grace He has bestowed upon us.

Let’s pray today that we may focus our worship on God’s love for us and ours for Him.
