Psalm 107

How long can I dwell on the thought that ends this psalm; "...let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD." I know that his love for me, for every person in history, moved him to send Jesus to the cross. I know that his love sought out Adam and Eve in the garden, and clothed them rather than slay them. I know that his love led him to notice Noah's righteousness when the rest of the world was imploding from selfish excesses. I know that love built a friendship between God and Abram, and gave him a new name; Abraham. I know it was the love for all people in history that move God to make that promise to Abraham that all people would be blessed through him. I know that I could look at every godly person in the Bible and throughout history and see the power of God's love displayed in every frame of their lives. That would be the extent of my consideration of the steadfast love of God. But I also know that would be the smallest of fractions of the whole story of his love.
It took me about 5 minutes to read this psalm.
