I started studying this verse this morning using The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge and finished only up to "The Lord will command His lovingkindness." The Lord is my KING! He is my Commander. When I am a good and faithful servant and obey His commands, I am in a place of blessing. In fact the Bible says that the blessings for obedience will come upon me and overtake me! I love that!! When I obey, His goodness and mercy follow me and overtake me. That is so comforting!
Meditating on our God's sovereignty and lovingkindness is such an encouragement as we go through the many trials of life appointed for us. Dwell on His mercy. Remember His mercy. Pray for His mercy. Know that one word from Him will turn your darkness to light, your rough waters to calm seas, your mourning to dancing, and your complaints to praise. Make His mercy, truth, and power, your refuge. Take up the shield of faith which is your defensive weapons and believe in His power and in His promises. Remember His presence goes before you and is with you. Stay your mind on Him. Be strong and brave and let the Lord do what is good in His sight.
