Forever Mercy

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever. O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth forever. .. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth forever.(Psalms 136:1-3; 26)

Thought For Today:

An interesting thought about Psalm 136:1-3 is the emphasis on the enduring and eternal nature of God's mercy. The repetition of the refrain "for his mercy endureth forever" after each statement of thanksgiving underscores the unchanging and everlasting character of God's mercy.

In a world where circumstances can be unpredictable and where human experiences are often marked by change, the psalmist provides a powerful reminder of the constancy of God's mercy. No matter what challenges or triumphs we face, the mercy of God remains steadfast and enduring.

This can provide comfort and assurance for anyone going through difficult times. It encourages us not to ground our thanksgiving in temporary circumstances but in the unchanging and eternal nature of God's mercy.

It prompts reflection on God's faithfulness throughout history and calls for gratitude as the consistently merciful Lord of Lords.
