Psalm 135:13

January 27, 2016

Psalm 135:13... Your name, O Lord, endures forever, your renown, O Lord, through all generations...

The name of the Lord is to be praised. This is actually the end of the song with the lyrics that began the song from yesterday.... "From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is to be praised." But, why do we praise him? This psalm helps us to answer this in a few ways, and verse 13 helps us see why in a specific way; the name of the Lord endures forever! We can count on him to be there. He is not a passing breeze. He is not like the flower of the field that is here today and gone tomorrow. God can be relied on throughout our entire life and throughout each generation. God will be there for us.

A and K, the God of heaven is not just there for me, he is there for you. In the past you have relied on me and your mother. Your parents gave you nourishment and bathed and clothed you. You sought our help and desired our compassion. As you grow up, we diminish in your lives. One day we will be no longer. If you let him, God will bring someone else into your life to love support you. But, they too one day will be gone. When all is gone, where do you find someone to lean on? Where do you go for love and support? Jesus! He will always be there. In low times when you wonder if anyone loves you, (Remember I love you, even when I get upset with you, otherwise I wouldn't even care) in times when you are by yourself, in times when you are alone in a crowd, God is there for you. He endures through all things and all time. He will love and support. Praise him for it. You can count on him!
