Hesed - The Lovingkindness of the Lord

     It’s hard to trust God. Especially in times like these, when the future is so unsure. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, let alone a year from now. There is much to worry about. So I pray and pray, and I am in this process of waiting because I don’t know what the outcome will be. But the truth is, I often pray out of anxiety... when all that God wants of me is to simply trust Him. 

     So I read about God’s lovingkindness. And when I think about this hesed—the unconditional, covenantal love of God which is based on Himself and not on me, it is easy to forget about my worries. Because no matter where I end up tomorrow, or next year, I will still be in the lovingkindness of my Lord. 

 "But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him."
Psalm 103:17


"The Lord delights in unchanging love."
Micah 7:18
