The World under Psalm 136 (A Personal Paraphrase)

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1

I am so thankful, God for your love never ends. It is always faithful. I am thankful to the Creator and Lord of Lords, because you always love me. To you, Oh Father, who does the miraculous, who created the universe and all that is within it – your love is ever faithful.

To the Lord who disciplined Egypt and rescued Israel with Your mighty hand; your love is always faithful. And to the God who performed great miracles by parting the Red Sea, saving Your people and destroying their enemy. Who served as a beacon of freedom, leading Your children through the desert and overthrowing those who tried to overcome You – Your love is so very faithful.

To the God who remembers His servants, who lifts us to a higher level and freed us from our oppressors. To the Father who sees and provides our every need, knows every thought, and cares for every living creature. Your love lasts forever.

I will give thanks to you, the God of all heaven and earth, because Your love goes on forever, and ever, and ever.

Sometimes we need only look as deep as the Father’s love to find any comfort, help or solstice that we may be searching for. If we would only search out the amazing power within the love of Christ, our lives would be much richer. Psalm 136 tells of the love which endures all things. How would you paraphrase it?

Prayer: Father, we sometimes forget the depth of Your love. Your love endures forever.
