When the Ship Sails On

Reflections on Psalms 36

By Tanja

 “How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
    People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” Psalms 36:7

Is something troubling your heart, and do you feel lost? You’re not far from the saving power of God. Come closer to Him now.

You can come to the Lord. Do you know that God is familiar with the way you are? He says, “I know how you are formed! I am aware of how many hairs are on your head!”

More significant than a mother’s love for her child is God’s love for you. A mother is aware of her child’s actions, but God is aware of what is going on inside of your heart. When you fear, or when you are hurt, when you are in need, or when you cry! When you can’t stand on your two feet any longer, God holds you. 

Know that God is your refuge in the storm. Surely, you can trust in the Lord. You can trust in the Lord forever. You can anchor your life on the Lord. There are times when the seas of life rage. Like a ship sailing on, you can position yourself in the protection of the Lord and let God be your anchor. God is your eternal hope, and you can put your trust in Him.

    God sings over you

    My Lover and His Vineyard: Let me sing a song for the one I love, called “My Lover and His Vineyard”: My beloved planted a vineyard on a very fertile hill Isaiah 5:1 (TPT) God sang a love song over Israel, He told of His deep love for her and described her as a vineyard. Israel was not producing fruit anymore of justice and righteousness.[1] “Isaiah starts off like a singer entertaining people with a love song, which he says he has composed on behalf of a friend.”[2] The song turned into regretful emotions, where song words should just be scrunched up and tossed away. For as the song lines sang: “He fully expected it to bear good grapes, but instead it produced only worthless wild grapes.” Isaiah 5:2 (TPT) Adobe Stock Images The Song God Sings Over You Has God called you to bear fruit?
