His love endures forever
Psalm 136 gives us another reason to praise God. And it repeats that twenty six (26!) times!It repeatedly gives instructions to give thanks and then intersperses those with observations of how God has provided, rescued and delivered. But like the steady ticking of a metronome, each verse is concluded by the phrase "His love endures forever".
And so I really don't need to say too much today - I think the Psalmist does a great job. Just read the extract below, it's just 9 of the 26 verses, but it paints an incredible picture of a God who shows His love to us in so many ways. And the multitude of the signs of God's love leads to only one conclusion: "His love endures forever!"
| Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever. who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever. who made the great lights-- His love endures forever. the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever. the moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever. (Psalms136:1-9) |
