Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
...und noch an ihren Kindern und Enkeln (erweist er seine Treue) – an all jenen, die sich an seinen Bund halten, die an seine Weisungen denken und danach leben.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Forever love is sometimes talked about in dime store novels, but this kind of love is only found in God's faithful lovingkindness. Thankfully, we can tap into that reservoir of eternal and divine love through the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus pours into our hearts to help us both receive that kind of forever love and share it with others (John 7:37-39; Romans 5:5). Importantly, our verse emphasizes how God's kind of love is multigenerational — generations before us passed it along to us, and we must pass it on to the generations that come after us. This multigenerational principle is not just a practice of celebrating God's love and our love for others found under the Old Covenant; it is also one that the apostle Paul taught Timothy to pass on to Jesus' disciples (2 Timothy 2:1-2). Ours is a multigenerational celebration of the goodness of God — "from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children." We must celebrate the goodness and love of our God so that our grandchildren can know God and celebrate his goodness in their day and share it with their children, and children's children!
Mein Gebet
Von ewiger Liebe erzählen die Groschenromane; sie wird aber nur in Gott gefunden. Wir zapfen dieses Reservoir der ewigen und göttlichen Liebe durch den Heiligen Geist an, der uns hilft, sie zu empfangen und sie mit anderen zu teilen.
My Prayer...
O God of glory and grace, thank you for your promises, your covenants, and your love. May I live in such a way that others, especially those who come after me in my family and church family, know that your love is from everlasting to everlasting. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
