His steadfast love endures forever

It's not looking very hopeful that I'll get to work from home full-time when my leave is up (next week). And if they do approve it, there would be a rather awkward string attached.

Sigh. I came home and read our church children's ministry newsletter. The director had included a meditation on Psalm 136, which is the one that repeats "For His steadfast love endures forever" on every alternating line. He wrote,

And this refrain, in its brevity, announces both what God is like AND what He’s doing: In other words, God is constant, firm, loyal and strong in His love to His people and this will continue into the future. At first glance, we should all look back to times of trouble and see that God was faithful. But the rearview mirror is so small and dirty – it’s hard to be encouraged by the past. Really, what we should be reminded of is that the God we serve is the One that set His love upon His people and promised to be constant, firm, loyal and strong to them NOW and FOREVER.

Believer, God has proven Himself to be a faithful God. But more importantly, your God loves you enough to take the time to prove it to you.

It was very encouraging that God is more faithful than I am.
