In this Psalm the writer encourages God's people to give thanks to God for his love. The nature of God's love is that it is eternal and unfailing. By his love, God rules all things. God is the creator and ruler of heaven and earth. Genesis 1 reveals God who created everything out of nothing. He is unfathomable in his almighty power, but he is not an impersonal God. He is a God of love, and his love endures forever.

Although God demonstrated his power often, he also revealed his merciful love. God expressed his love to the people of Israel by delivering them from Egypt and from Pharaoh. Then for forty years, he was with his people in the desert, bearing their rejection on himself. God's love endured while overcoming their sin. He did not fail to lead them to the land he had promised them; he gave it to them as their inheritance. He is the God of heaven and the God who sustains his people in love.


Application: Lord, you are the almighty ruler of all things. Thank you for loving a sinner like me. Make me a testimony of your enduring love.
One Word: Give thanks for God's enduring love
