EVERLASTING, UNCHANGING GOD

I have just read Psalm 136 again.

The Contemporary English version says:

verse 1:

                         "Praise the Lord! He is good. God's love never fails."

The 1933 King James says:

                          "Give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth
                           forever."

The New King James version says:

                           "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy
                           endures forever."

The Amplified Bible says:

                            "O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-
                            kindness endure forever."

It does not matter how we translate it - the meaning, and the character of God, remain unchanged! Stop and think about that!

Thank You, Lord, for your love and mercy, Your grace towards mankind and your loving-kindness from day to day. Amid all the chaos that surrounds us, what would our planet be without You?
