One of the things about God is that He never changes. The Bible says He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is the same, He wasn't the same - He continues on an incalculable path that never wavers. He is also the source of love, and the spring of which love never fails.
He is love, and His love never fails, never gives up, never runs out. They say the opposite of fear is love. Fear takes away all confidence. Love restores it. Fear saps, love replenishes.
Living in fear is as draining as living without sleep. We as people don't have to remain as metaphorical slaves to fear. Thanks to God and His nature and very self, we too can have love. Like a baby eagle hides in the shadow of his mother's wings, so we can take refuge in the arms of love that Christ spread for us.
Though David the psalmist didn't know it as such, He had hope in Christ as the future. We have hope in Christ as the past. But the truth is that just as He "will be" for David and "was" for us, so He is now.
Unfailing love.
