His Mercy Endures Forever
Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 136:1-9. The theme of Psalm 136 is to give thanks to the LORD because He is good and His mercy endures forever.
The first part of the chapter talks about how we should be in awe of the wondrous works that the LORD God performed through His creation. The Scripture talks about how through His great wisdom He made the heaven and stretched the earth above the seas. It goes on to talk about His creation of the light He created to light the world. He made the sun to rule the day and the moon and stars to rule the night.
If you go back to Genesis chapter one and read the account of God’s creation of the heavens and earth you will see the Scripture says, “He said,” and it was so. He is so powerful all He had to do is say what He wanted to be created and as a result, He spoke it into existence.
We take so much for granted that God has provided for us. We really need to stop and take some time to think about His awesome power, His great love for us, and give Him glory for it all. Hebrews 13:15 says, “By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.”
