Prophet’s Reading Plan: Jeremiah 42-44
Historical
Read: Psalm 136
We live
in a world where it’s here one day and gone the next. The brand new car ages and becomes old and in
need of repairs. The same can be said of
our houses, clothes, furnishings and even our physical bodies. Nothing lasts forever – nothing but God’s
love and mercy. This Psalm tells us
twenty-six times that “His love endures forever”. It tells us of God’s character, His power and
His past deliverance and miracles. It is
on this basis that we can have faith and trust in God. He has proven to be faithful, just, merciful
and loving time and time again throughout the ages. This historical Psalm basically goes through
God’s resume which gives us hope. Read
through the Psalm again, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to you more about the
hope that you have by placing your trust in God.
