Do We Forget Sometimes?

For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
   - Psalm 100:5

Psalm 100 is a short little ditty, just five verses in length, but it is a psalm of thanksgiving. A holiday that, by the way, is but one week from today. I hope you were able to get all the pieces and parts for your Thanksgiving feast! But, back to that title question. Do we sometimes look at the Lord as only judge and executioner? Have we fallen for that Old Testament oppression theory that says God is the mean one? That would be odd when reading this verse from a psalm in that same part of the Bible. Or perhaps it is not that, but we think that maybe His truth didn't quite make it to the current generation of youths. Thoughts such as that are equally at odds with this verse from the psalm of thanksgiving. In case any of that has crept in on us, we'll just have a little prayer.

Thank You, dear Lord, for Your goodness and everlasting mercy. Thank You also Lord God that Your truth has come to this generation and all the generations past, present, and future. Amen.

Love in Christ,

Bucky
