Therefore, we should give thanks and praise Him for God’s Love Never Fails.
“From the beginning of creation to the climax of redemption, from the first making of the heavens to the final inheritance of the saints, all is to be seen against the background of the love of God. That love is both indestructible, because it is covenant love, and boundless, because it endures forever. As you look around at all that he has made, and follow through all that he has done, at every point the psalm is saying ‘Covenant love did this.’” - The Message of Psalms: Songs for the People of God, by Wilcock, Michael.
