Disposable Culture. Thanksgiving to God for His Enduring Mercy. Psalm 136:1-9, 23-26. 1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 2 Oh, give thanks to the God of Gods! For His mercy endures forever. 3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of Lords! For His mercy endures forever. 4 To Him who alone does great wonders. For His mercy endures forever. 5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens. For His mercy endures forever. 6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters. For His mercy endures forever. 7 To Him who made great lights. For His mercy endures forever. 8 The sun to rule by day. For His mercy endures forever; 9 The moon and stars to rule by night. For His mercy endures forever. 23 Who remembered us in our lowly state. For His mercy endures forever. 24 And rescued us from our enemies. For His mercy endures forever. 25 Who gives food to all flesh. For His mercy endures forever. 26 Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever. Many times true commitment in relationships is seen as optional. Marriages struggle to survive. Long-term employees are discharged just before retirement for cheaper options. A highly revered athlete leaves to join another team. It seems as if nothing lasts. This disposable culture is also reflected in more significant ways. Our unchanging God, however, has promised that His loving mercy endures forever. In Psalm 136, the singer celebrates this wonderful promise by making statements about God’s wonder, work, and character. He then punctuates each statement about God with the phrase, “For His mercy endures forever.” Whether it is the wonder of His creation (vv.4-9), the rescue of His people (vv.10-22), or His tender care for His own (vv.23-26), we can trust Him because His mercy will never fail. In a temporary world, the permanence of God’s mercy gives us hope. We can sing with the psalmist, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” God’s grace is immeasurable; His mercy inexhaustible; His peace inexpressible. Have A Great Day Facebook Family and Friends.
