"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." Psalm 136:1 (NLT)
Friend, you need to go get your Bible! God has some reminders for you today!
Open the Word to Psalm 136. Read it. Just wondering...Did you being to gloss over the chorus echoed each time...in all 26 verses??? Go back. Read it again. This time, say the chorus out loud. Yes, out loud! It bears repeating...from whispers to shouts!!! "His faithful love endures forever"!!!!
No matter what you are facing, "His faithful love endures forever." Whether times are good or bad, "His faithful love endures forever." In meager circumstances or seasons of plenty, "His faithful love endures forever." When mortal man (or woman) disappoints you, "His faithful love endures forever."
Different translations vary on their wording, but the message holds the same promise. The NIV says, "His love endures forever." In The Message, "His love never quits." In KJV we read, "His mercy endureth forever." Mercy can only be shown through faithful love. The Amplified Bible tells us both, "His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever."
In between those 26 times of reminding us that His faithful love endures forever, we are called to remember the ways that God's promise is "backed up"...that "He is good," that He has performed mighty acts, He is a God of miracles, and He has proved Himself over and over.
God's Word doesn't lie. Speak His Words today...out loud! "His faithful love endures forever."! And don't forget to give Him thanks. He is so worthy!
Lord, thank You for Your Word...Your reminder to us of Your faithful, unfailing love and mercy! Help us in our unbelief...in times when we can't begin to fathom the depths of Your love for us, and the mercy that comes as a result of that love. We thank You for Your love...faithful love. We love you. Help us to love You as faithfully. Amen
