His Love Endures Forever

forever stampI 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…

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.

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.

“His Love Endures Forever” by Chris Tomlin

I want to love the Lord and honor Him forever!

Pressing On!
