God's love endures forever!
The people of Israel have been working hard to build the temple.
Artisans have done their best work.
The king recites the saving history of the LORD God for God's people.
God dwells with us.
The repetition of Psalm 136--His love endures forever; His love endures forever; His love endures for ever--becomes not only a rejoicing chant but a comforting meditation.
Consider writing out your own "Psalm 136" today. Begin with all the blessings God has given you. After each write: God's love endures forever.
Now add the trials of your life, the struggles. After each write: God's love endures forever.
Write your dreams. Write the promises of God. Write your hopes and visions for the passions and purposes God has set on your heart. After each write: God's love endures forever.
What we discover is the pervasive quality of this truth---and the INVASIVE quality of this truth. We cannot escape the love of God in our lives. God's very nature is everlasting lovingkindness to each and everyone of us.
Get it into your head.
God's love endures forever.
You are beloved by God.
God's love endures forever.
You cannot do anything to make God love you less.
God's love endures forever.
God's mercy hounds you wherever you go.
God's love endures forever.
God's love endures forever.
God's love endures forever.
God's love endures forever.
...and ever and ever.
