Over and over in the Psalms, we see the writers pouring their hearts out to God. Political struggle, family contention, and personal tragedy all show up. But the Psalms are not about venting heartache. It is not a collection centered on spewing grief into the air just to proclaim some personal discontent. The Psalms seek answers to life’s questions. The psalmists seek relief and comfort. In Psalm 33, we catch a glimpse of what the psalmists are seeking. This psalm is about the steadfast love of the Lord. A love that permeates every part of life. A love that raises the spirit and comforts the hurting. A love that shapes the heart of those who seek refuge in God. Psalm 33 shows us that the steadfast love of the Lord touches the hearts of His people and brings them a new perspective. An opportunity to praise and worship a God who moves and works in our lives. The steadfast love of the Lord leads us to joy and to thanksgiving as we see Him in our moments. The psalmist ends his writing here with a request. “Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.” My prayer this week is that as we embed the Bible on our hearts we can experience the hope that comes from living in a relationship with God, and that we can understand that the steadfast love of the Lord rests in our days.
