Its the Same Old, Same Old and I am Glad

            Many  years ago (in 1993), Bill Murray and Andie McDowell starred in a movie titled “Groundhog Day”  that tells about a weather man who is caught up in a “time warp” where he keeps living the same day over and over again.   Can you imagine every day being the “same old, same old”.       Many of us don’t like “re-runs”.   We look forward to a new television season so we can see new shows. 

  

            While we might not like seeing things or encountering things that are the same old, same old, we encounter the same in a reading  Psalm 136.    Read again these first three verses of Psalm 136 which say:

 ¹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
            His love endures forever.
² Give thanks to the God of gods.
            His love endures forever.
³ Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
            His love endures forever.

             In all of the 26 verses of this Psalm, we find the same old, same old words:  “His love endures forever.”  We read them and hear them over and over again.    While I might not like to see television shows over and over again, I am glad that I can discover anew each and every day the love of God that endures forever.  Thanks be to God.  Have a joy-filled week.-  Pastor Randy Wall

Prayer-   We are grateful, O God, that every day and time after time we know your love that endures forever.   Forgive us for the times we are blind to that truth.  Help us trust more fully in your matchless love and grace;  through Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen.
