The opening verse of Psalm 118 is a popular refrain throughout the Old Testament. It is repeated in the last verse of the same Psalm, as well as in many other Psalms (106, 107 and 136). I don't believe it is hard to comprehend what the writers want us to understand - God's love will endure, so let us give thanks for this gift.
The Hebrew scholar, Robert Alter, wrote his own paraphrase of the Psalms and put a different slant on these words. He wrote: "Acclaim the Lord, for He is good; forever is His kindness."
How do you feel about that? Not only is the Lord loving towards us, but part of his nature is also kind.
Ephesians 2:7 - "in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus."
Thought: May you experience the kindness and love of Christ today.
Living in Grace
