THIS HYMN is full of faith statements. The first set of beads says, "He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord." Sometimes it is difficult to see that the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord, so we need to take a closer look to spy out his faithfulness.

Spend some time this week meditating on the truth that God is steadfast, that his love for you is steadfast.

Write out your own definition of what it means to be steadfast. Perhaps record the many ways you have seen the steadfast love of the Lord in your life.
