The Unchanging Love of God
Have you ever stopped to think about how amazing it is that God’s love and faithfulness never run out? Everything around us changes, our schedules, our plans, even our emotions, but God remains constant. Psalm 117:1–2 reminds us, “Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!”
This short psalm carries a powerful message. God’s love isn’t just for one nation or one group of people, it’s for everyone. His faithfulness stretches across time, cultures, and generations. Think about that: no matter where you are from or what season of life you are in, God’s love reaches you. And it doesn’t just reach you once—it endures forever. That means you can trust Him today, tomorrow, and every day after that.
Steadfast Love in Every Season
Unlike human love, which can fade or fail, God’s steadfast love never wavers. His compassion greets us every morning, and His promises remain true even when we struggle. As a family, remembering His faithfulness helps us stay grounded. When life feels uncertain, His love anchors us. When things feel heavy, His faithfulness lifts us.
Worship that Centers Our Hearts
A worship song that beautifully reflects this truth is Center (Live) by Bethel Music. It reminds us to place Jesus at the center of our lives and to keep our hearts fixed on the One whose love never ends. When Christ is at the center, everything else finds its place. Worshiping together is a wonderful way to lift your eyes above daily challenges and remind your soul that God’s love and faithfulness endure forever.
Family Connection
This week, set aside time each day as a family to reflect on Psalm 117:1–2 and talk through these questions:
Why do you think the psalmist invites all nations and all peoples to praise the Lord?
What does it mean to “extol” God, and how can we do that as a family?
How have you experienced God’s love this week?
Why is it important that God’s faithfulness “endures forever”?
How can we remind ourselves to praise God in our daily routines?
What are some ways our family can show others God’s love and faithfulness?
How does knowing God’s love and faithfulness make you feel secure?
Let these conversations draw your family closer to each other and to God, celebrating His goodness together.
Living in God’s Faithfulness
God’s steadfast love and faithfulness are reasons to lift our voices in praise. They remind us that He is trustworthy, near, and worthy of all our worship. Let’s make it a daily habit to celebrate His love, encourage one another in His faithfulness, and keep Him at the center of our lives.
