The short psalm reminds us of two eternal characteristics of God that he has revealed to us that are worthy of our praise. The first one mentioned is God's love. It is steadfast in that it never changes and does not wax and wane with our obedience. It is a permant fixture in the landscape of the lives of faith. The psalmist points out that God's love is directed on us. The other trait that God wants us to see in his heart is his faithfulness. He will keep his promises. He will not change. He cannot be defeated. If he ever offered us hope he will always offer us hope. Since he promised to deliver those who follow him we can be confident that deliverance is our and it will come by his hand.
The question is not how long did it take for me to read this psalm but rather how many time could I read it in one minute.
