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. - Ps. 136:1-3 NIV
Psalm 136 is a wonderful liturgical work. The second line of each verse is 'His love endures forever', as the Psalmist recounts all the wonderful deeds of the Lord God from the creation of the universe, through the children of Israel being delivered out of Egypt, to the conquering of the land of Israel. Throughout all of the known history at the time, they could look back and see that God's love endured. He never forgot his creation, he always made a way.
Why is it so often that only in retrospect can we see the hand of God at work. We should be singing continually 'His love endures forever.' For it does, in the midst of wars, disasters, economic collapse, and the more personal accidents, separations, deaths, his love endures. Wherever you are right now, 'His love endures forever.'
Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever. - Ps. 136:26 NIV
