ENDURING FOREVER


Sunday devotional for 11/18/12 

Some things go on for an eternity.  There are things we think of as lasting forever, such as a hard rock, non-rusting metals, a forgotten fruitcake, or a boring speech.  But are these things truly eternal?  Not really.  Those things can be destroyed or ended.  However, there is one thing that we can have confidence in knowing it will last for all time.

Give thanks to the Lord; His love endures forever.

The significance of these words in the Bible are underscored by the fact that it is found quoted there in some form at least 16 times.  God will always love us - forever, and it is important for us to remember this and be grateful for it.  It is essential that we not reject God's loving gift of faith in Jesus and the salvation he won for us on the cross. God wants us to express our thanks to him for his goodness and mercy.  The amazing thing is that even when we forget about his presence, are unsure about him caring for us when we have faltered or are struggling, or even wonder if he is there at all, God is STILL faithful in his love for us and forgives us.  He will always pick us up in his loving arms and takes care of us, in spite of our sinfulness.  How awesome is that?!  Thank you God!

Psalm 136:1 (42 kb)

May you have a week filled with gratitude to God as we approach Thanksgiving.

    Jan...

    You have written about the main reason that we shouold be thankful. No matter what our circumstances that might be bringing us down God is still there. In the book by Wm. Paul Young (author of The Shack)Jesus tells the protagonist that he may feel safe and to count on it in His arms. I love that!

    Be blessed and safe on not only on Thanksgiving but all the time.

    God bless!
