UNFAILING LOVE - CONTINUOUS FAITHFULNESS

PSALM 100: 5

"For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation."

Forever is a long time. Someone who lives 100 years has lived a long time, but that pales in comparison to FOREVER. Can we even understand forever or eternity? God's mind as well as His timing are above our timing and we may not be able to completely understand the totality of this scripture, but the essence is simple to conclude. No matter how many generations come and go, the Lord's faithfulness will continue to them all. The Lord's love last and continues forever. That is why we know that the Lord is good, because He never fails and He never changes.

Our generation is assured of God's love and His faithfulness. What a blessing and assurance that should be to everyone who is born into this world. It does not matter when or where you are born into world the Goodness of the Lord will be there and be yours. His mercy and loving kindness are everlasting. His truth endures to every generation. We are all equal in the sight of God and we all have the same opportunity and choice to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. He is just and His justice is available to all who call on His name.

Imagine that since Adam and including all those who have been born into this world there is one thing that remains the same. God and His unfailing Love. Jesus Christ and His continuous faithfulness. Kingdoms and countries have come and gone, the nations have won and lost in many ways, but even though a lot has changed here on earth nothing has changed in God's kingdom. There is something comforting and encouraging to know that there is stability and safety in what never changes, no matter what. FOR THE LORD IS GOOD. HIS UNFAILING LOVE CONTINUES FOREVER, AND HIS FAITHFULNESS TO EACH GENERATION!
