Bat Cave : Continuing theme

I was sending an an email to my friend David this past week and I was telling him there are two words I keep noticing as I read through the book of Psalms again. It's a constant or continuing theme. Before I tell you what those words are I want to get very old school. Some of you grew up around church or hymns. I want to reintroduce you to an old hymn.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.

As I thought of the continuing theme I'm going to tell you about I had been on Facebook and Christian singer and author Sheila Walsh did a live video talking about the same phrase I had been relaying to David. She mentioned Psalm 143:8 "Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk for I give myself to you." The continuing theme I have noticed this time reading through Psalms is two words in reference to God and that is mention of his unfailing love. Psalm 5:7 "Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your temple with deepest awe." 13:5 "But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. 17:7 "Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies."

We all at some point have experienced a person saying they love us and then that ended. To us the broken because that's what we are I urge you to seek God wholeheartedly. Over and over he tries to tell us in the Bible his love doesn't fail. If you don't know God He sent his only son to die on a cross to save you. If you are a Christian continue to seek him and rest in this. Romans 8:38-39 "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." That is what unfailing love looks like. "This is the story of the Son of God hanging on the cross for me. But it ends with a bride and groom and a wedding by a glassy sea. O, Death where is your sting singing Holy Holy Holy is the Lord."
