DEVOTION: Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1
When I was a kid we would say the verse above at the end of every meal as a thank you prayer. It is the perfect prayer to remind us of the goodness of God and the love that lasts well after the meal is done and the dishes are put in the dishwasher.
It is a good thing to continually thank the Lord! Why?
Even if everything is going wrong and we are in utter pain and frustration, the Lord is good and His love endures forever.
Even if we have sinned and our guilt is overwhelming us to the point that we just want to give up the fight, He is good and His love endures forever.
Even if we are lonely beyond imagining and we just need someone to love, He is good and His love endures forever.
Even when the whole world seems to be against you and you just can't even lift up your head, He is good and His love endures forever.
And yes, even when everything is going well and you don't have a problem or a care in the world, He is good and His love endures forever!
He is the one constant in a constantly changing world. He is the sure and solid rock on which we stand. He is our hope, our future, and our eternal life. He is everything! AND HE IS GOOD!
Rest today in the Lord! He is good and His love endures forever!
Prayer: Thank you O Lord! You are good and Your Love endures forever! Amen.
