“The law of divine love is the standard for all human actions.”
--St. Thomas Aquinas

While the Psalmist David pens Psalm 34:20 (NASB), “He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken,” he does not have a substantial physical injury. Ultimately, David knows that even if he receives a wound to his body here on earth, eternity will heal it. Davids's heart and mind both know, no part of his essential self shall be broken. David does not necessarily make a physical declaration, but rather a spiritual declaration. The soul may not be injured in this world. The soul is protected by divine love.

God is love. He places His love in you by way of the Holy Spirit when you believe He sent His Son for you and you become One in Him. God’s love watches over every believer, just as He watched over His Son. God’s love preserves every believer, just as He preserved His Son. God’s love protects every believer, just as He protected His Son. God’s love keeps every believer, just as He kept His Son in His perfect power.

Prophecy begins in the Old Testament. On the night of the last plague, the moment when God delivered the Hebrews out of Egyptian bondage into freedom by way of the blood of the Lamb, the command was given for not one bone of the lamb to be broken. (Exodus 12:46)

Jesus, known as the Lamb of God, was crucified on Passover and by His blood, you and I are delivered out of bondage and freedom. On the cross, not one of the lamb’s bones was broken. (John 19:32-36)

But so what? What does this mean for me today? “The Passover lamb, of which not a bone was broken, prefigured Jesus as one, ‘not a bone of whose body should be broken;’ and yet, at the same time, it prefigured the complete keeping and safety of Christ's body, the church; as it is written, He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.”

The church is the body of believers (1 Corinthians 12:27).

God’s divine love watches over the church, just as He watched over His Son. God’s divine love preserves the church, just as He preserved His Son.
God’s divine love protects the church, just as He protected His Son.
God’s divine love keeps the church, just as He kept His Son in His perfect power for when His Son returns as foretold in Scripture.

"We wait for the blessed hope - the appearing of the glory of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ." Titus 2:3 (NASB)

Regardless of what you can see, May your heart know, God's divine love watches, preserves, protects and keeps you and me together as ONE body during these trying times. And if this love is the standard for all human actions, today you may live LOVED. Loved people love people.

Students, athletes, parents, administrators, coaches, teachers, “You’ve got this today because He has you.”

These words come from God’s Word.
God’s word is true and God’s Word is enough.
You are so loved, Happy Monday!
