Psalm 136 is a wonderful passage of scripture because it's an
in-your-face reminder of the steadfast love of God. In fact, all 26
verses in that chapter end with "for his steadfast love
endures forever." It's a great reminder when we face the kinds of days
where we want to throw up our hands or run screaming from the living
room. We can feel like we're at the end of our rope and that we have
nowhere left to turn and God is right there waiting for you!
Steadfast love is such a foreign concept to us I guess it's
understandable that we can sometimes forget God's love is right there
in every circumstances. Human love comes with so many conditions that
we many times don't even lean on that rock within our lives. The love
of a spouse, the love of a parent, the love of a child that seems like
it could go away if you make a key mistake. It's the model of love
that we see throughout our lives and if God's word was only words it
wouldn't be much more reliable than that of a human's love.
Fortunately, when you let God's love truly sink into your life, then you have that rock which will endure forever.
"It is he who remembered us in our low estate, for his steadfast love endures forever;
and rescued us from our foes, for his steadfast love endures forever;
he who gives food to all flesh, his steadfast love endures forever." - Psalm 136:23-25 (ESV)
It doesn't matter if we're at our lowest point...when we're covered in
sin and feeling like we're unworthy of His time and interest...God's
love is steadfast and it endures forever. His love was there before we
were conceived within our mother's womb and it will be there long after
our souls have joined with Him in Heaven. I know there are days when I
have to look up from the muck that I've allowed myself to fall into and
see the smiling face of my Father as He puts a hand out to lift me up
and clean me off. He's always there.
He's there for you too.
