Psalm 136

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever” (1). The psalmist declared that God’s goodness and love are revealed through His “great wonders” (4). We know what God is like because we see the goodness of His amazing creation – sun, moon, stars, and earth (4-9). Israel testified that the Creator’s goodness was also revealed through saving acts: He rescued them out of Egypt, across the Red Sea, and “led his people through the wilderness” (16).

“He remembered us in our low estate; His love endures forever” (23). We can rejoice that God’s love endures through all generations, even to us. The One who “by his understanding made the heavens” hears our prayers and acts on our behalf today (5).
