Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord. [Psalm 107.43]
There is certainly something to be said for knowing the history behind our faith in Jesus Christ! And while there are many lessons to be derived from the history behind our religion, the one truth that should outshine all others is the fact that God is love. All our attempts to extract any understanding from Israel's history are futile without the basic comprehension of God's love. All of it means nothing if we fail to first absorb and retain the foundational premise of God's faithful and amazing love.
Once we understand this principle, an entirely different attitude may be found as we piece together the history behind our faith in Christ.
Father, I am reminded today of Your love. As I continue to strive to be a student of Your Word, let me, in every detail, be predisposed to first see Your love!
