Psalm 136:23–26

ENDURING LOVE

Psalm 136:23-26. “Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever: and hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.”

ENDURING LOVE. It is not learned or earned – it is His divine nature It does not ebb and flow – it is who God is It cannot be defined by men and their nomenclature Its nature doesn’t go to God, but it comes from His.

It went on public display in the ancient past As a chosen people, they were then guided by its essence Creation put on its nature without being asked Everywhere revealed they looked; men could see its presence.

Actions followed evidence as the years unfolded Millions of condemned people lived because of it. By the abnormal course of events they were upholded And ultimately found the place they were sent.

Right here and now, we are experiencing its blessing In it we live and move and have our being. All around, there are events that are so distressing But amidst it all, we are kept by what’s beyond our seeing.

Eternal mercy defies every form of description When in mercy God sent His unique Son Like a banner above, His love was unfurled Over our heads to protect each and every one.

His loving kindness by us was never deserved His mercy gave us a way from judgment to escape. By His love through all these years, He has preserve`d Me, and that love affects each decision I make.

“Father God, I cannot express how much Thy unfailing love means to me. But I can and do, thank Thee for it unfeignedly, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
