Reading the Bible and thinking about what God's love has endured already, we see much reason to be relieved. Yes, God did punish the children of Israel but His love did not stop. God left the temple as Ezekiel bore witness but His love remained steadfast. Daniel watched God's love in action, as did David, and John, and Peter. The great tribulation will come, but God's love does not stop. How do we know this? If at any point in all of that God's love had stopped, the children of Israel would not have been able to say that His love endures forever.
Foolish indeed would be the psalm that went something like, 'Great is His love that endures forever...except for that time back in the wilderness and that one time by the Nile, oh, and that other time at...' We cannot accuse God that way and neither did the psalm writers back in their day. God's gracious love endures forever we sing along with the saints of ages past. Though our sins match theirs in every way still we say that God's love endures forever. What remarkable steadfast love our Lord has for us that He would send His Son to save us!
Live in the love of God this day,Bucky
