Psalm 136- Faithful Love

 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His faithful love endures forever. 

He alone does great wonders. His faithful love endures forever. 

He made the heavens skillfully. His faithful love endures forever. 

He spread the land on the waters. His faithful love endures forever. 

He remembered us in our humiliation His faithful love endures forever. 

and rescued us from our foes. His faithful love endures forever. 

He gives food to every creature. His faithful love endures forever. 

Give thanks to the God of heaven! His faithful love endures forever.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭136‬:‭1‬, ‭4‬-‭6‬, ‭23‬-‭26‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

“His faithful love endures forever” is repeated after every phrase to drive the point home.  It is repeated after the blessings and after the hardships, the joys and trials.  

It would be easy for me to think only of Gods faithfulness when things are going well, and start feeling sorry for myself when times are challenging…maybe even thinking that God has left me or doesn’t care.  But, this Psalm reminds me to look in the rear view mirror to see Gods fingerprints even in the trials and suffering. 

God, Your faithfulness is so wonderful and undeserved!  I am blessed beyond measure by how you have taken care of me through EVERY season.  I am so thankful for your faithful love and how it never changes!
