By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
Psalms 42:8 (ESV)
and at night his song is with me,
God doesn’t just love us, he commands his love for us. It is his decree for the universe that he loves us and his love is unshakable, it is steadfast. His love is the anchor for our lives because no one can cancel a command of God. It will remain forever. We suffer for a little while here, but in his New Society in the next age we will soak in his love forever free of all sin and suffering. What else would he do for us if he loves us?
When the night comes his love is a song in our hearts. It is is music to our souls. Its melody and harmony sooth our anxieties and lull our spirits into peaceful repose. The lyrics capture our minds and his instruments resonate angelic tones. His song of love is with us always and we find our happiness as we keep our ears fixed on his tune.
