But you, LORD, sit enthroned forever;
    your renown endures through all generations.
You will arise and have compassion on Zion,
    for it is time to show favor to her;
    the appointed time has come.
For her stones are dear to your servants;
    her very dust moves them to pity.
The nations will fear the name of the LORD,
    all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.
For the LORD will rebuild Zion
    and appear in his glory.
He will respond to the prayer of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea.

(Psalm 102:12-17, NIV)

You, LORD, never fail to have pity on me; your love and faithfulness always keep me secure (Psalm 40:11 CEV).

Reflection

In keeping with the Advent season, this week’s I Love the Psalms theme is faithfulness.

There are many things in life that fail. We have failing grades, failed businesses and careers, failed products and failed marriages. But through it, all the scriptures assure us there is One who is faithful. The LORD has pity on us. His love and faithfulness stand secure.

Response: LORD God, I am thankful that you have mercy on me when I fail. Your love and faithfulness holds me secure even now. Amen.

Your Turn: Has the Lord helped you through times of failure?
