Summer in the Psalms – Week 7 Day 5
WEEK 7 // DAY 5
THE LOVE THAT ENDURES FOREVER
“It is he who remembered us in our low estate… and rescued us from our foes… Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.” – Psalm 136:23–26
The final verses of Psalm 136 shift from Israel’s collective memory to personal experience: “He remembered us… He rescued us…” This is no longer distant history. It’s present-tense grace.
This psalm is your story, too.
You are remembered. You are rescued. You are sustained. And the reason isn’t your worthiness—it’s His unchanging love.
The refrain—His steadfast love endures forever—is not wishful thinking. It’s a theological anchor. In Jesus, we see its full meaning: love that came down, endured a cross, and walked out of a grave. Love that keeps pursuing. Love that never gives up.
So give thanks—to the God of heaven, who wrote your name into this song.
