Gba ohun èlò náàDaily Bible Reading – February 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word Of LoveÀpẹrẹ
February 15
Introduction
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. The psalm recounts the story of creation and recalls God’s saving acts in Israel’s history.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 136:26
Give thanks to the God of heaven; his love is eternal.
Today’s Reading
Psalm 136
Reflect
How many times do the words “His love is eternal” appear in this psalm? Why do you think the psalm writer chose to repeat these words at the end of each verse? 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 for your mighty deeds and for your presence in my life. Your love is eternal! Amen.
