Scripture: Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22
Text: O give thanks to the Lord for the Lord is good; for the Lord’s steadfast love endures forever!
The life which I have experienced has been a rugged process with some interludes which have resolved into pleasant peacefulness. What I understand of history is that the journey has been to a large extent a rugged process for the human race thus far. We are not unique in our time and in our circumstances to be faced with many challenges that resist easy resolution.
The writer of this song nevertheless sees life as essentially good and undergirded by a love that is unending. Indeed as a specie, that the human race is still here is a testimony to the reliability of that love.
When we are at times searching for a reason to be hopeful, the endurance of human beings on this planet for several million years is one source for hopefulness and thankfulness of spirit.
Prayer: Lord, you already know but we need to tell you ourselves just how challenged we often feel with the ruggedness of life. Thank you for your affirming and ongoing love. Amen.
Thought for today: We are sustained by love beyond our full comprehension.
