11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,so great is HIS STEADFAST LOVE TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM;12 as far as the east is from the west,so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 13 As a father shows compassion to his children,so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. 14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
Points to Ponder: Have you noticed, as I have, in the verses we have been meditating on and memorizing, the constant reminder of God's steadfast love? Over and over again, the Psalmist refers to the Lord Almighty's steadfast love for us.
Steadfast: firmly fixed in place: immovable; not subject to change; firm in belief, determination, or adherence [www.merriam-webster.com 7.23.10] God's love for us is firmly fixed in place, immovable, not subject to change - it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with Him. His love for you is steadfast, unchanging regardless of what you do or don't do today. God loves you right now, right this minute, both now and forever. His love does not grow, change or wane. It is.
