In Psalm 136 there are 26 verses and in all 26 verses the writer reminds us that God’s faithful love endures forever. So often we get lost in our circumstances and forget that it is God’s love that pulls us through those uncomfortable times. There are 40 times in the New Living Translation that it reminds us that God’s “faithful love endures forever.”
Also in Psalm 136 it reminds us to “give thanks unto the Lord” because of HIS faithful love. Our heavenly Father loves us and takes care of us and does everything in His power to draw us to Himself. I love the words of a song that talks about that love. Here are a few words in that song and I encourage all to listen to it
“For The Love Of God" by Andrew Ripp
I saw mercy
Mercy seated where the judge should be
Was guilty
Guilty and getting out of jail free
How could it be I didn't get the life I deserved
And the only thing that He wanted was my heart in return
Every time I think about every time I thought was the end
I'm caught up wonder again
Chorus
Where would I be
Where would I be
If it wasn't for the love of God
This song of victory is
Now mine to sing
Hallelujah for the love of God
Has set me free
Last Stanza
If it wasn't for my failures and mistakes
I would never know the depths of this grace
Now my heart is beating for heaven's sake
And for the love of God
Hallelujah for the love of God
