A common refrain in the Old Testament is the phrase, “His love endures forever.” It is found repeatedly in the Psalms, and Psalm 136 ends each line with that statement for a total of 26 times.  

Why the repetition? Because God knows we need the reminder. Life has its share of ups and downs, victories and defeats, moments of joy and seasons of sorrow. In all of it, we can lose sight of the unshakable truth that God’s love is not temporary, conditional, or fragile. It endures.

Psalm 136 walks us through Israel’s story from creation, deliverance from Egypt, guidance through the wilderness, victories over enemies, and after every act of God’s faithfulness comes the same declaration: “His love endures forever.” It is a rhythm that drives home the reality that no matter what changes, His love remains the constant.

That same refrain holds for us today. When you succeed, His love endures forever. When you fail, His love endures forever. When you feel close to Him or when you feel far away, His love endures forever.

So let those ancient words become your modern anthem. Whatever you’re walking through, whisper these words to your heart: “His love endures forever.” It did yesterday. It does today. And it will tomorrow.
