This morning, I was reflecting on David’s words, “You are my God.”
What did he mean by that?
Ultimately, I think it comes down to this. He was saying, “I have seen your steadfast love in my life.”
Despite all his troubles, despite being on the run in the wilderness as he wrote this psalm, he could say, “I have seen your steadfast love in my life.”
It’s one thing to say, “I believe in God.”
Or to say, “God’s power and glory are breathtaking.”
It’s another thing to be able to look back on your life, and say, “I have actually seen God’s steadfast love in my life.”
To really be able to look at points in your life and be able to say, “God showed his steadfast love to me in this way, in this way, and in that way.”
It is through those experiences that we say with confidence, “God is my God! And I am his.”
And it’s because of that confidence, we “follow hard” after God. (Psalm 63:8)
We thirst for more of him in our lives. (1)
We lift up our hands in praise to him. (3-4)
And our hearts turn to him even as we go to sleep at night. (6)
So let us take some time and meditate on those words, “You are my God.”
In what ways has God shown steadfast love to you? What times in your life can you point to?
