Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work. Psalm 62:11-12 – Throughout his years the psalm writer David had many encounters with the Lord. He had seen the Lord move repeatedly in his life and had first-hand seen the Lord bring victory time and time again. After these many encounters with the Lord, David pens in this psalm two wonderful truths about His God. That all power and all steadfast love belonged to the Lord. That God was powerful and that God was loving. One commentator put it this way, “This is the only truly worthy representation of God. Power without love is brutality, and love without power is weakness. Power is the strong foundation of love, and love is the beauty and the crown of power.” How marvelous that to our God belongs all power and all love. Through David’s life with God this is what he had learned God to be. How about you? If you’ve been a follower of Jesus for any length of time, what have you come to know about God in that time with Him? Has He proven Himself trustworthy? Has He shown up for you when you needed Him? Has He been willing to accept you despite your sin? However the Lord has revealed parts of his character to you, be willing to share that with others as David did here in this Psalm. Help others, who may not have had the same amount of time with the Lord as you have, know God like you have come to know Him. For we have an enemy seeking to deceive the world on who the Lord truly is, be a force for the Lord speaking the truth against such lies so the world can know that all power, love, mercy, and grace belongs to our God. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3475
