Psalms31 verse21 ‘Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.’

God is described by several attributes in the scriptures and one of such attribute is his kindness. He is a God of unusual kindness and his heart’s desire is for us, his children, to know, in reality, this kindness of God. This was the testimony of David, as we can see here in our text scripture (Psalm 31verse21), as he testified of his marvelous kindness. In the same vein, God wants to show you his marvelous kindness. Ps117v2. So are you ready for this encounter? My dearly beloved ones, however, to experience his marvelous kindness, it’s important to know what it is all about?

So What Is His Marvelous Kindness?
-It’s God being unusually kind towards you. His marvelous kindness speaks of his great, wonderful and miraculous kindness. The is the kind of kindness that Daniel and Esther experienced in a strange land where they were taken captives. Est2v9. God’s marvelous kindness also talks about his uncommon or special mercy and favor.
–It is the Wonders of His Love i.e. His never failing love or wonderful love. This is the kind of love he demonstrates towards his own, as he did in the case of Prophet Jeremiah (Jer31v3). It’s the same kind of love that he also wants to shower you with. For you to gain a clearer perspective on this truth, I want to share with you other translations of our text scripture:

Praise the Lord! How wonderfully he showed his love for me when I was surrounded and attacked -Good News Translation

Praise be to the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love, when I was in a city under siege – New International Version

Praise the Lord, his love for me was wonderful when my city was attacked -New Century Version

So what are the key points to take home from our text scripture?

1. His Marvelous Kindness will be your Defense and Refuge. Just as his marvelous kindness guaranteed the safety and protection of David despite the siege he was under. In the same vein, God’s kindness will be your security and covering even in this season in Jesus name, amen. If you are receiving this, can I hear a resounding amen? The same God that preserved Jeremiah during the invasion of Jerusalem will preserve you even in this season! Ps125v1.

2. His Marvelous Kindness will be your Comforter and Consolation. This simply means that you will be comforted by his marvelous kindness. Ps119v76. Just as his marvelous kindness was a comfort to Naomi and Ruth in Israel, this also be your story in this season in Jesus name, amen. He will send your Ruth and Boaz to you as he did for Naomi and Ruth!

My dearly beloved, as you meditate and receive these truths, may the experience of his marvelous kindness be a reality in your daily work and life.
