| “Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens…” |
| —Psalm 36:5a |
“Life is moving faster than it ever has before.” So writes the author of the gospel song from the 1970s: “Praise the Lord, He never changes.” That author echoes the words of the Psalmist from Psalm 36:5-9:
Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep.
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals. How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
As we begin another New Year, let us lift our voices in praise this day that the God who loves us with His everlasting love never changes. We may confidently count on Him to always have our best interest in mind. No matter how confusing or troubled things may seem, He gives us light to show us the way forward. And, as a reminder of God’s unchanging love for us, let me suggest that you listen to this gospel song:
