PSALM 136:1-6

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.

His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of gods,

His love endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of Lords: 

His love endures forever.

To him who alone does great wonders,

His love endures forever.

Who by his understanding made the heavens,

His love endures forever.

Who spread out the earth upon the waters,

His love endures forever

This beautiful psalm repeats His love for us, throughout history and now.  The psalm reminds us to thank and praise our loving God throughout our lives.  Read the whole psalm and use it to thank and praise God for His loving care and guidance throughout our history, as the Israelites look back on all that God has done.
