[18] Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love,
[19] that he may deliver their soul from death
and keep them alive in famine.
[20] Our soul waits for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
[21] For our heart is glad in him,
because we trust in his holy name.
[22] Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.
(Psalm 33:18-22 ESV)
When I feel overwhelmed or suffocated or trapped by all the circumstances of life, I can say,
"Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city."
(Psalm 31:21 ESV)
When I don't know "Why?", when I don't know what to do next, I can look to Christ, for "the LORD my God lightens my darkness"(Psalm 18:28b ESV).
'"For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.'
(Isaiah 54:10 ESV)
His "love never fails"(1 Corinthians 13: 8).
Even when I fall away, He will be there. He keeps all His promises.
"If we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself."
(2 Timothy 2:13 ESV)
"For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness." [my emphasis](Psalm 26:3 ESV)
He loves me better than I even know. More than I can guess.
This is my God, and this is how He loves me.
