His Love Endures Forever

I can’t hardly get my head around “forever”. I only know seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years and maybe decades. I don’t know how to describe forever –it’s beyond my ability to understand as it completely transcends time as I know it.

In Psalm 136 the Psalmist repeats after every first line of the verse, the words: “His love endures forever”. Check this out…

¹ Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
² Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
³ Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.

⁴ to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
⁵ who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.

²⁶ Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever. (Psalm 136:1-5,26 NIV)

Forever doesn’t sound like it even has a timeline.

Forever doesn’t need an incremental break like minutes, hours, etc…

Forever doesn’t have a beginning or an ending.

Forever is the Lord bringing me from my timeline of my life into His timeline of life. He’s been operating in forever time continuum … well forever!

I don’t understand it, but I believe in Him. If He says it I believe it. I believe His Word is truth. I believe His Word is true.  Even though I don’t understand gravity, it doesn’t mean it’s not fact. Even though I can’t see the wind; I can see the effects of the wind. Just because I can’t understand or explain forever, doesn’t mean much – it is still real.

This passage reminded me of a song that we used to sing a lot.
