Psalm 136… “His Steadfast Love Endures Forever!” Get It?

Just in case you’ve ever doubted it or wondered… The covenant-love – the “steadfast love” – the love of God that is anchored in His very nature and character continues to be expressed today and on into eternity!… It was expressed here on earth: first of all in creation… then in what God did for His people in the Old Testament, it was epitomized when Jesus died for our sins on the Cross, and continues to be expressed every day in a myriad of ways, experiences, and circumstances! Nothing.. No one!… No situation!… No circumstance!… can separate us from His love!!!

I read a wonderful Psalm devoted to that kind of love today… Psalm 136. It is like two choirs antiphonally responding to one another: One choir sings of a historical instance of God’s steadfast love, the other responds with a repeated affirmation of it (believe me, you should read it!) Here is the repeated refrain…

“…His steadfast love endures forever!

Get it?… It’s repeated 26 times in one psalm!! That’s why I’m ready today to lay claim to Romans 8:37-39 as a foundational, unshakable, dependable, truth in the Bible…

“No! In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord!”
