Thanksgiving

David Ashcraft

Psalm 136 is a song of thanksgiving with a repetitive phrase, "for his steadfast love endures forever."  As you read the psalm this thanksgiving, apply it to your own life.  God's steadfast love for you will endure forever. 

Think back over your life and reflect on the blessings you have received.

Look forward to an eternal life with the one whose "steadfast love endures forever."

• to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
• to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
• to him who spread out the earth above the waters, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
• to him who made the great lights: the sun to rule over the day and the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
• to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt and brought Israel out from among them with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for his steadfast love endures forever;  
• to him who divided the Red Sea in two and made Israel pass through the midst of it but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
•  to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
• to him who struck down great kings and killed mighty kings, Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan  and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel his servant, for his steadfast love endures forever;
