Psalm 143:8
"Cause me to hear Thy Lovingkindness in the morning...."
How beautiful the sound of Lovingkindness is! But how do we 'hear' Lovingkindness? Only from the lips of God, with His ears, by His Spirit.
David's crying out in this Scripture, by the Holy Spirit, to hear the WORD, Christ Jesus our LORD; God's Lovingkindness made manifest on this earth for His sinners, for His glory.
He is the WORD Who walked on this earth in the flesh at the precise time ordained in eternity. The WORD incarnate Who lived a life of perfect obedience because not one of His chosen children could. The WORD Who suffered and died on a cross meant for each of us, the Sinless One Who paid the price for our sin, the Just for the unjust.
Christ Jesus is the WORD Who shed His blood unto an obedient death, in our place, the ultimate act of love from a Just and Holy God, tender toward His sheep.
"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy Lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions." (Psalm 51:1) According to God's lovingkindness: His Son, our Dayspring of Life, "Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the Dayspring from on High hath visited us..." (Luke 1:78)
Thanks be to our God Who sent us His Son, His Lovingkindness!
