Psalm 136
-Theme: Giving
thanks to the LORD for His everlasting lovingkindness and power.
-Historical Insight: This is an anonymous Psalm that
chronicles much of the early history of the nation with thanksgiving to God for
all that He has taken them through. He remembered their low estate and brought
them into inheritance for His Name’s sake (Psalm 136:21-23, Isaiah 63:12). The
phrase “For His lovingkindness is everlasting” occurs at the end of every verse
in this chapter.
-*Application* Through turbulent adventures the LORD carries
His people with complete care and love. He is with us through the storms of
life even when we don’t necessarily “feel” Him there. Remember to have faith in
these times and continue to praise His holy Name. He will rescue, He will
deliver, He will provide the inheritance that He promised (Ephesians 1:18,
Colossians 3:23-24, 1 Peter 1:3-4). So continue to trust Him completely and
fervently. He is good (Psalm 136:1). He is everlasting. He is Ruler of all. He
does great wonders (Psalm 136:4). He has the skill (Psalm 136:5). He comes
through in the clutch. He remembers us when we are low (Psalm 136:23). God
provides (Psalm 136:25). Give Him all thanks for His lovingkindness is
everlasting!
