"You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to You" (Psalm 86:5).
Sometimes, we contrast 'the God of the
Old Testament' and 'the God of the New Testament.' We speak about 'the
God of law' and 'the God of love.' If we think that 'love' only began
with the start of the New Testament, we need to read God's Word more
carefully. Here, we are in the Old Testament. What do we find? We find
love - the love of God, the God of love.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
