How precious is your steadfast love, O God! 
          The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house, 
           and you give them drink from the river of your delights. 
 For with you is the fountain of life; 
              in your light do we see light. – Psalm 36:7-9

The love of God is so precious, more than we realize.   This psalm makes it abundantly clear. 

God’s love is like a rare gem among the rubble of life.  Compared to all else it ought to be revered and cherished. 

How I am so prone to diminish it!  It is worth everything!…  And yet I often get more excited about a group of men dressed in the color of my fancy delivering an oblong ball across a field.  How wretched am I! 

It is essential to continually return to a knowledge of the true greatness of the Lord.  That is why reading the psalms can be so cleansing to the perspective. They remind us of the sublime glories of God, inviting us inside to“feast” and “drink” at the table of God.  

To meditate on God’s goodness and drink of his delights, these are the ends for which we were made.
