A Thought

Take a moment today to read Psalm 136. Despite what people say regarding the evil and angry God of the Old Testament, the Psalmist seems to share a picture of God that’s a little different. It’s a picture of God in his “steadfast love”. God is just, but he loves faithfully. God is faithful in his love and we see that most clearly as he sheds his own blood on Calvary’s cross. We see the God of all creation showing such love as to give his own life for his creation. But he didn’t stay dead. Instead, that steadfast love continues today as he reigns in all things. The God of all creation loves you. Take a moment to let that sink in. Through Jesus Christ, you are made pure and God loves you as his own Son. I’ll leave you with that. Have a blessed day!
