As I read today's Psalm I kept singing the hymn: How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure…That He should give His only Son, to make a wretch His treasure. I am reminded that throughout everything…throughout my life, God's love has never changed. His love for me has endured forever…and will continue forevermore.Psalm 136 reminds us to give thanks to God for His great power and wisdom in creating the heavens and earth. (v 4-9) We are prompted to give thanks to God for rescuing us and protecting us. (v 10–22).Finally, the psalmist calls us to give thanks to God for His goodness and unfailing care. (v 23–26).
God gives us life, breath and food to sustain us. He rescues us, protects us, and delivers us. God cares for us. He gives us peace and joy. All we are, all we have, all we see is because of the Lord's faithfulness and love for us…His love that endures forever.
The psalmist reminds us 26 times to give thanks to God because "His love endures forever." Each time I read the words I am reminded how wonderful and powerful His enduring love is in my life. I don't understand it. I don't deserve it, but focusing on the Love of God brings me into His presence…I want to sing praise for His love, power, comfort, joy and strength…thanking Him for His unending love.
