Celebrating God’s Faithful Love

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

Let all Israel repeat:

“His faithful love endures forever.”

Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat:

“His faithful love endures forever.”

Let all who fear the LORD repeat:

“His faithful love endures forever.”

Psalm 118:1-4

Dependable. Reliable. Faithful. All of us want such qualities in our friends—dependable when the going gets tough, reliable when you have to count on them, and faithful to the end. As this psalm attests, such qualities are perfectly demonstrated in God himself. He came to our rescue when we were mired in our sin and could do nothing for ourselves. Such faithful love is something to celebrate, so praise him by saying: “His faithful love endures forever.”

Each day, celebrate God’s faithfulness. Meditate on the many ways God has blessed you and those you love. Rejoice over the many ways he has fulfilled his promises to you. Give him the thanks and praise he so deserves.

• Dear Lord, your faithful love for me endures forever . . .
