Psalm 136 - His love endures forever

This Psalm is most notable for having the constant refrain "His love endures forever". We do well to remember this, for whatever circumstances we find ourselves in, we know that His love will not fail. As Paul says in Romans, nothing can separate us from the love of God.
The verses themselves put this love in various contexts. First, He is good, and He is the Lord of lords.  His is the Name above all names, He has all power and authority.
Next we come to His acts. He does great wonders and He created the whole universe. This includes the earth itself, and all the stars and galaxies.
He exerted His power in setting Israel free from slavery in Egypt. After having brought them out, He continued to exert His power in seeing them through the wilderness. God's active love for us did not stop on the cross, He continues to act in our daily lives.
He exerted His power against those who opposed Israel. He remembered His people and provides for us, freeing us from our enemies.
We have a great God who loves us and acts for us. His love endures for ever.
