“Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures forever;” - Psalm 136:3-5 (ESV)
What is better than something that is truly good lasting forever? So much of the things in our life today are temporary, and will pass away, or break down. We know nothing in our material world lasts forever. If we are looking for something that will be with us for the next 366 days, and the 365 days after that on to the end of time and into eternity, we look to the words given us by God. We look to his promises and his steadfast love. This is something that truly will endure forever as our promise in today’s verses tells us. It tells us three times. Actually, if we were to read all of Psalm 136 we would find this promise repeated 26 times. Everything God does for us, every act of grace is done for our benefit and that God will be glorified. Every gift we receive is motivated by God’s lovingkindness. Because of God’s mercy and because it comes from our unchanging God, His love endures forever.
