If I've told ya once, I've told ya a thousand times! 12-17-12

Good afternoon friends of Thrive Community Church (www.ThrivePortOrange.com).  Today's reading form the one year Bible that hit me was psalm 136:

 1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
         His faithful love endures forever.

The second line of the psalm is repeated throughout the entire psalm.  When God says something once, we should probably listen. After all, He is God!  What if he says it twice? How about 3 times?  Well, the phrase "His faithful love endures forever" occurs in the psalm 26 times!!!  Do you think God is trying to get something through our thick skulls?  It reminds of the old phrase, "If I've told ya once, I've told ya a thousand times"- His faithful love endures forever.

My prayer for Today:  Lord, I think you have the phrase repeated over and over because we just have a hard time believing it.  Today, by your Spirit, speak to our hearts that we might truly believe that your love for us is never ending, eternal and unconditional.

Amen
