In the midst of peril, I love how the Psalmist is focused on the steadfast love of the Lord. It's easy to try and figure out what we have to do to be saved. It's much harder to remember that the character of God is that God wants to save us. God chose to come and save us in Christ. God opts to deliver us. When we cry to God for salvation, we're simply crying out for God to do what is consistent with who God is -- God is a mission God, reaching out into the world to save God's beloved.
Thanks be to God that we worship a God of kindness and grace, and may that knowledge sustain us through hard times.
