Re: Verse reading–Psalm 118 (day seven)
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” (v 1) God’s love is not partial or temporary. God’s love is resilient, undiluted and permanent! It is how we survive. The only way. I am preparing today for the ordination service for Josh Bolch. Sweet, spiritual privilege Sunday night for us to lay hands on this young pastor. In preparation, I’m reading again Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 4:16. “Therefore, we do not lose heart, for though our outer man is decaying, our inner man is being renewed day by day.” Why does God not give up on us? Because He LOVES us in His Son. Why does He not get weary with our weakness and doubt? Because HIS LOVE ENDURES forever! “I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor things present, nor things to come. . .shall separate us from the love of God.” (Romans 8:38) Why? Because His love endures forever!
He raised a cpuloe eyebrows, but God’s spirit revealed my brothers heart to everyone there, and we were all blessed by him. It is neat how the body of Christ is so diverse. God Bless you all.]]>
