Reflect
History marches on, wars are fought, babies are born and others finish their tenure here on earth. Yet one unchanging truth remains, “God’s love never fails.”
God’s call to us is to give thanks to him; in every season of life – give thanks. As we enjoy the simplicity of his creation to the wonder of his deliverance in difficult times, give thanks, for his love never fails.
With his mighty hand and outstretched arm, he delivered the Israelites from their enemy. Verses 23 and 24 say “God saw the trouble we were in. God’s love never fails. He rescued us from our enemies.”
You wonder, who is my enemy? I have not one! We all have an enemy.
For you and me, our enemy is death. It marches towards each of us. Not one of us will escape. God however made a way for us through his love and grace when Jesus took our punishment on the cross. We are given complete deliverance. Jesus removed the sting of death. While this body will pass away, our souls will experience life everlasting with this one “whose love never fails.”
We give thanks to him because of that great love that we cannot measure and that is forever unchanging.
Respond
Dear Father, thank you for your great love for me. Thank you that you are the creator. Thank you that while the world around me changes moment by moment, your love remains the same. Thank you for rescuing me from death through Jesus’ sacrifice for me. I pray that today Father, I would be found giving thanks to YOU, over and over and over again. Amen.
