Psalm 136

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever” (1). This beautiful song of worship reminds us that God’s love is revealed in his actions. Because of his love, he made the earth and sky and oceans (4-9), and because of his love, he rescued Israel from slavery (10-15). His love led his people through the wilderness, providing manna and giving them a new homeland (16-22). God’s love reaches down to us in our “low estate” (23) and pulls us up.

Because of God’s great love, he sent his Son to give his life so that we can be set free from our enemies—sin and death (24). His love never ends.
