PSALM 136 ~ 15 MAY 2008

Author unknown

God’s love endures forever

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever. Ps 136:1

This is a very unique psalm where the latter half of each verse is the same, repeated throughout the whole psalm, "His love endures forever." There is no vain repetition even though it is repeated 26 times, it affirms each time that God’s love endures forever.

• Vs 1 – 3, 26 tell us to thank the Lord;
• Vs 4 – 9 tell us that God made
earth, sky, sun, moon &
stars;
• Vs 10-16 tell us how God saved the
People of Israel from
Egypt;
• Vs 17-22 tell us how God took his people from Egypt to Canaan;
• Vs23 – 25 tell us that God gives us all that we need.

Application:
Be reminded of God's enduring and everlasting love for you. For it is in verses 23 to 25 where we learn that it is God who remembers us even in our lowest states, it is He who frees us from our enemies, and it is He who gives food to all living creatures. Yes, may you sing and pray as the psalmist in Psalm 136:26, "Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever." Amen.
