Devotion:
Read Psalm 136.
The Psalmist is obviously looking back over the history of God’s relationship to the Children of Israel. There are lines of praise for who God is. There are lines related to God as the Creator. Then there is a focus on some of the key moments attributed to God that delivered the Israelites. All of it is bathed in that beautiful refrain “His love endures forever.”
I invite you to write your own Psalm patterned after this one. Write a line praising God in some way, then write your own wording of “His love endures forever” (repeating this one throughout). Write some lines of what most fascinates you in nature. Write some lines about times that God has carried you through key moments in your life.
As individuals, as families, as a church, we can sing this song. We can write this story. In fact, we could write several Psalms like this one because we have so much for which to praise God and give thanks. So, get to writing. (You may even want to share it with others, possibly inspiring them to write their own Psalm.) And don’t ever forget “God’s love endures forever!”
Personal Worship Option:
Tomorrow we will be looking at the parable usually titled “The Prodigal Son” from Luke 15:11-32. If you get a chance today, read that parable in at least two versions of the Bible.
