Using Strength with Love
My dear son,
Power and steadfast love belong to me. My strength is joined with love, and I judge rightly as I attend to the way each person lives. Even the small choices you make matter to me.
Use the strength and responsibility entrusted to you with that same care. When you give direction or ask someone to do something, honor their dignity. You can hold a good standard while treating a person as precious.
Bring kindness and honesty together in your words and decisions today. Ask me when you need wisdom. I delight in seeing you carry your responsibilities faithfully while making room for the people beside you to breathe freely.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 62:11–12
WEB11God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.
12Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
A short reflection
The psalmist confesses that power and steadfast love belong to God, who judges each person according to their deeds.
