Following God is costly, but the reward is eternal. God is faithful in every circumstance. God is faithful in every circumstance.
The thread of covenant runs through every book of the Bible. Reading the Psalms alongside this gives a fuller picture of what the author was experiencing - both the anguish and the hope. God is faithful in every circumstance. God is faithful in every circumstance.
Now I understand why - it's a daily declaration of dependence on God. The imagery here is agricultural - the original audience would have immediately understood the metaphor of sowing, waiting, and harvesting. This is one of those passages that reads differently in every season of life. What a reminder that God's ways are not our ways. I think this is a call to trust beyond what we can see.
Following God is costly, but the reward is eternal. God is faithful in every circumstance. God is faithful in every circumstance.
God is faithful in every circumstance. God is faithful in every circumstance. I love how this passage doesn't shy away from the difficulty of obedience. The early church would have heard this very differently than we do today.
