Devotion:
Read Psalm 136.
Psalm 136 is sometimes called a “Hallelujah Psalm” because it doesn’t contain complaints or problems. Instead it contains a list of times when God worked in history to show love and grace to his chosen people. The Psalmist repeats a command to give thanks four times, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.” The same reason follows each command, “His love endures forever.” No matter the bad choices the Israelites made or the unfortunate circumstances they faced, God’s lovingkindness shone through. God’s love endures today. It outlasts all the problems we face in life. It transcends the troubles we face each day. It goes on when our life comes to an end. God promises that there will be a harvest if we plant our seeds in him, but it’s good to remember that the harvest doesn’t come the day after the seeds are planted. Harvesting comes in the future. When we sow the seeds of our life in God, we can look back over it and give thanks for what God has done because “his love endures forever.”
Personal Worship Option:
Commit today to sow your seeds into God and his work. And remember these truths: No matter where you’re going, His love endures forever. No matter what problem you encounter, His love endures forever. No matter how you feel about God or others, His love endures forever.
