Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 136:10-26
This psalm which (as we pointed out yesterday) ends each verse with the words “for His mercy endureth for ever,” focuses on the history of Israel with special emphasis on how God was involved in everything that took place. It is clear that Israel survived the wilderness and conquered enemy kings by the power and mercy of the Lord, and He provided for them all along the way. The summary to all who read this psalm is found in verse 26: “O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for His mercy endureth for ever.” Every detail of their lives, no matter how difficult they seemed at the time, was being controlled and worked by our God. Verses 10, 13, 16, and 17 begin with the words “To Him.” He was going before them and proving over and over again His mighty power.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 26 – “O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for His mercy endureth for ever.”
