Laai die Bybeltoep afDaily Bible Reading – November 2023, God’s Saving Word: Praise and ThanksgivingVoorbeeld
November 22
Introduction
Psalm 136: Today’s reading is a hymn of thanksgiving for God’s eternal goodness and love. Written as a litany that was probably sung by the priests during worship, the words “his love is eternal” are a congregational response at the end of each verse.
Today’s Key Verse:Psalm 136:1
Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good; his love is eternal.
Reflect
Verses 4–9 recount the story of creation as recorded in Genesis 1:1–19. Similar to verses in yesterday’s reading (Psalm 135:8–12), verses 10–22 in today’s reading recall God’s saving acts in Israel’s history. When reading this psalm, what is the effect of the repeated response at the end of each verse? Try writing your own litany by recalling times in your life when you experienced God’s goodness and love and inserting the words “his love is eternal” at the end of each sentence.
Pray
Your love, O Lord God, is eternal. I thank and praise you and proclaim your mighty deeds. You are the greatest of all gods and the mightiest of all lords. You alone are God, and your love is eternal. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
