The Wonder of God's Great Love

Today's full One Year Bible readings:
Genesis 39:1-41:16 ~ Matthew 12:46-13:23 ~ Psalm 17:1-15 ~ Proverbs 3:33-35

Psalm 17 empowers me to seek God with a fresh alertness to the wonder of His amazing love. To all who believe, it is truly marvelous how He hears us, sees us, knows us, guides us, and shows us His love. He is a God who rescues those in trouble, heals those in pain, and reveals His great love to those who have eyes to see, ears to hears, and hearts to receive.

The Psalmist prays this way...

3 Though you probe my heart and examine me at night,
though you test me, you will find nothing;
I have resolved that my mouth will not sin.

5 My steps have held to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.

6 I call on you, O God, for you will answer me;
give ear to me and hear my prayer.

7 Show the wonder of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.

Psalm 17:3, 5-7 (NIV)

Today, as an act of worship, call upon the name of the Lord, and ask Him to show you, in a fresh way, the wonder of His great love. May we be transformed by seeing and experiencing His love so that the glory of God might be displayed in our lives and countless men and women drawn to this astoundingly beautiful, breath-taking God.
