Psalm 136:1-9 (NIVUK)
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures for ever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures for ever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures for ever.
4 to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures for ever.
5 who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures for ever.
6 who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures for ever.
7 who made the great lights – His love endures for ever.
8 the sun to govern the day, His love endures for ever.
9 the moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures for ever.
Yesterday we thought about God’s promise to Abram to give him descendents as numerous as the stars – we’ll come back to that later this week, but today we remember who God is. God is the one who made the heavens and the earth, including the stars. No one can match his power. The wonderful thing is that not only is our God powerful, but he uses that immense power in love, including for us.
Thank you God for you love shown in creation, loving it into existence, and towards us. You are good and your love endures for ever!
