God is Love - Psalms 134-136

Psalms 136:4-9 (ESV)
to him who alone does great wonders,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who by understanding made the heavens,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who spread out the earth above the waters,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who made the great lights,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
the sun to rule over the day,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
the moon and stars to rule over the night,
for his steadfast love endures forever;

God is the great creator.   He created all things for His glory.    He shaped the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and all created things the way He desired them.   In eternity past, God shaped the trees outside your and my house.   It put all things into existence by His divine power.    Why?  Because His steadfast love endures forever.    God has put all the earth and heavens together out of pure love.   That love is not a passing love as is one persons to another in this world.   That love is “steadfast.”     We don’t have much steadfast love today in our world.  Love for most is fickle and is mostly based upon performance and conformity to the image others want out of us.   But, God’s love is steadfast. It remains. It remains the same.  It remains the same toward us.   Everything God does flows from His love.  We can rejoice in this thought. No matter how bad life gets, no matter how terrible things can be, we can rejoice, because: 

1 John 4:8 (ESV)
... God is love.
