THE LOVINGKINDNESS OF GOD

Text: Psalm 36
7 April 2024

GOD’S LOVINGKINDNESS

God’s love may also be described as “lovingkindness.” There are many facets to consider in this word.

5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains;
Your judgments are a great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.

9 For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

10 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.     Psalm 36:5-10
