Psalm 33 continues the “trust me” theme of Genesis 15. Though
kings trust in the size of their army and warriors trust in the size of their
biceps the one who trusts in the Lord hopes in unfailing love. It means like
Abraham we look to the mystery of the unlimited heavens and stars beyond
counting to catch a glimpse of the One who looks down from on high and opens our hearts and
minds in holy waiting to abiding hope until unfailing love rests upon us. It is
unfailing love that satisfies our spiritual hunger, unfailing love that brings
us back from the brink of death dealing despair, unfailing love that is our
help and our shield in times of trouble. This would be a vain hope for
deliverance if the Holy One had only looked down from heaven, and in this we
rejoice, that when the time had fully come and the waiting world could wait no
longer God’s unfailing love left heaven and inhabited flesh and blood so that
we could know as we are known and see as we are seen. God’s word through the
psalmist is God's word to us. Trust me.
