Few things never fail. Whether it’s a dependable car finally conking out, a comfortable recliner that no longer reclines, or a smooth pen running out of ink, everything eventually gives up the ghost. Except, of course, for the love of God:

Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.

Inexhaustible and unflagging, God’s love consistently remains with those who depend on him. Like an island in the middle of the sea, love to the horizon and beyond.

The wicked may encounter endless adversities, but the man or woman who has every confidence in the Lord experiences God’s love and protection day after day. Not that hard times or devastating circumstances or stretches of silence won’t come—no false promises here.

But even if it’s hard to recognize at the moment, the Lord’s unceasing love remains.

Psalm 32 in Through the Bible in 2024
