His steadfast love indures forever

I was reading my bible today and I was just struck with how amazing God is. I was reading in Psalms 136, which is the Psalm that talks about how God's steadfast love endures forever. I was struck fresh with just how amazing God is. No matter how many times we fail he is faithful.
I was also struck with how the Psalm opens, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good"  I know that whatever the future holds God is good and his steadfast love will endure forever!


Psalm 136

 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
            His love endures forever.
