I would expect you too!

Garth Heckman The David Alliance [email protected]      OT Expectation  Psalm 36:7 (The Hebrew word for expectancy) 7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.   **Covenant Culture** The phrase *“LOVING KINDNESS/steadfast love”* translates the Hebrew word **ḥesed**, which refers to **covenant loyalty**, not mere affection. In ancient Israel, ḥesed described God’s faithful commitment to His people despite their failures.   UNDER YOUR WINGS * **Intimacy** – closeness, not distant protection * **Nurture** – like a mother bird covering her young * **Divine Presence** – God is actively involved, not passively watching Protection   **Key connection:**   * Psalm 36 describes what God *is* * Jesus reveals what God *does* * Humanity’s problem is not access, but **unwillingness - LACK OF TRUST/ OR EXPECTANCY to come under His covering**
