The Psalms are a great gift to humanity, aren't they? This morning, Psalm 52:8 touched me. "I'm an olive tree, growing green in God's house. I trusted in the generous mercy of God then and now."
David was a young man, green as can be when he wrote this psalm; I am no longer young but there's still a bit of green left in me and I don't think one is ever too old to grow a bit.
God's mercy endures forever. Nothing can kill it or stop it from existing in Him and nothing stops Him from having mercy for us. I am for ever grateful. I need His mercy and His generosity in giving this mercy to me.
Should I become cowardly and fear what may lay before me in this future move north, not knowing the future ins and outs of this move? God will not be pleased with me if I do not trust in Him. He has taught me over the years to not be fearful of the unknown because no matter what comes along God has planned it. He is in charge. I am not! His generosity will prevail! I will not suffer loss, but gain from the good God has in mind for me. The final outcome may not come right away, but the final outcome will be for the good. His mercy is absolute and hope follows me from day to day.
What will the future bring? There is no answer today. But God is generous in His mercy and I am growing green in anticipation of whatever it is God has I store for me!
This I trust. This is my psalm.
