A Protecting and Comforting Banner

His banner over me is love --this love is waved above me as a protecting and comforting banner.
SoS 2:4

As we look up at this banner it is sometimes hard to fathom or believe.
Often for me a film of unbelief, unworthiness, or just plain unawareness keeps me from realizing how ever-present His Love and Faithfulness is above me, below me, beside me as I grocery shop, drive to work, and do the dishes. As I comb my hair he is singing an excitable song of how he loves to be my right hand man.

Often when I feel blah, a film starts to cover this banner. Fortunately the other day I felt he said "hey, you're blah-ness does not de-activate my love and faithfulness to you"...."Just because you do not feel close to Me does not mean my love is not there for you to receive whenever you want -- whether you feel worthy or not!"

He is like this because it is His nature! It is simply who He really is. Oh, that my nature would be the same...

Declare it with me and the Psalmist:

I declare that your steadfast love is established forever; your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens (Psalm 89:2)

I needed this today. It felt good to read that verse from Psalm 89 out loud.
