Meditation Verse: Psalm 30 \u201cHis favour lasts forever\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love the way this week\u2019s meditation phrase sits within the surrounding verse, if you have ever spent time with small children, you will be very familiar with this concept. I well remember my parents saying to me, \u201cI\u2019m not angry, I\u2019m just disappointed\u201d or this hurts me more than it hurts you!\u201d But the anger was for a moment and the love was always there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c4 <\/sup><\/strong>Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, I live in a house full of cats who are my world, in fact I collectively refer to them as my babies which I know is ridiculous. The rest of the family laugh as I often scold a cat for bad behaviour (I know the cat has no idea what I\u2019m saying but it makes me feel better!) then, if they come for a cuddle or do something cute, my resolve has gone in a flash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How wonderful to know that despite occasionally letting Him down, God loves us forever, and even better in 1 John 4:19 it says, \u201cWe love because he first loved us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And so, God\u2019s love spreads out into the spaces we inhabit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meditation Verse: Psalm 30 \u201cHis favour lasts forever\u201d I love the way this week\u2019s meditation phrase sits within the surrounding<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=952"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":953,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952\/revisions\/953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rwnorthblog.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
and give thanks to his holy name.[b<\/a>]<\/sup>

and his favour is for a lifetime.[c<\/a>]<\/sup>
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
