"O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."
Psalms 136:1
There are 26 verses in this particular Psalm, and every single one of them ends with "for his mercy endureth for ever." At first that made me laugh, but in thinking about it a little bit more, maybe this is just the appropriate number of times that we need reminding. :) ... That God watches out for us, that he has saved us in the past, is saving us now, and that he will save us in the future. Our ancestors and our descendants, and right now, this minute.
It reminds me of Romans 8:39: "Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." His mercy endureth forever, and no one can stop us from tapping in to that. We just have to get on our knees and choose him over other distractions. Today, let's do that, and thank him, and choose him. As we put him first and learn to keep his spirit in our lives, we tap into that love... and that mercy that endureth for ever. :)
