Many of us read Psalm 136 this way. Every verse contains the refrain “for His steadfast love endures forever.” Though you may exult in this truth in verse 1, you weary of it by verse 13. Your eyes skip along to the “interesting parts,” neglecting the other half. But there’s gold in the repetition. Behold …
Almost everyone has a “special” place where they love to relax, engage in a favorite activity, or be at peace. In fact, some people, have several. A scenic view from a back deck. A cozy basement. But do you have a special place to meet with God and pray? A place where you can “shut …
