Need someone who is always loving and faithful? - Ruminating in the Word of God

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing,
majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him and what came to my mind and heart in Psalm 136:23-26,

"To the One who remembered us in our low estate
His love endures forever.
and freed us from our enemies,
His love endures forever.
and who gives food to every creature.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever."

The refrain of the twenty-six verses in this psalm is the affirmation
of God's enduring love.

In the verses above, it is the God of gods and the Lord of lords who
is recalled as the One who delivered us from "our low estate". For
Israel, it was her deliverance from slavery in the land of Egypt. For
us, it is deliverance from God's own wrath and judgment of our sins.

Also in the verses above, it is the God of gods and the Lord of lords
who provides food for every creature. Again, in the case of Israel,
God is recalled as the One who provided for the nation while wandering
in the wilderness for forty years. Food, in the form of manna and
quail, and water. For us, we look to the Lord to provide our needs.
Peter puts it this way, "His divine power has given us everything we
need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us
by his own glory and goodness." 2 Peter 1:3.

I am reminded it is the Lord who brings us life, who sustains us
through this life and will bring us safely into his presence, if we
but embrace him in faith. A comment Paul makes always provides us with
the assurance of God's enduring love, "I always thank God for you
because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have
been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your
knowledge — because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for
our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will keep you strong to the
end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord, is faithful." 1 Corinthians 1:4-9.

God is faithful and his love endures forever!
