Psalm 136
Realization of His goodness and that He is above all gods should elicit a heart of praise and giving thanks to the Lord. To be aware of His abundant mercy should cause us to sing fo His Loving-kindness continually. Experiencing His grace is not just once and for all; His love and kindness are not provided only until He loses patience with us, but they go on and on. It is His nature, and it is eternal. This hymn reviews the history of God demonstrating His loving kindness to show that it is truly everlasting. Each creative act and the wonders He performed were testimonies of His loving kindness. His deliverance of His people from Egypt, bringing them across the Red Sea, leading them through the wilderness, and overthrowing pagan kings to provide Israel a heritage all affirmed His mercy and love and that it was ongoing and endless.
