Today’s Scripture Reading: Psalm 78 ; Genesis 45:1-15; I Corinthians 7:32-40; Mark 6:1-13

Today’s Writer: Jim Beeby

Whether it is:

God through Paul giving great advice on marriage and the single life (1 Cor. 7:32-40),

Jesus healing people in his home town even after not being honored there (Mark 6:1-13),

The Lord redeeming the dastardly acts of Joseph’s brothers to save Jacob’s family and Egypt from famine (Gen. 45:1-5),

God abundantly providing for Israel in the wilderness even in the face of their constant complaining (Psalm 78:1-39), or,

God choosing David as Israel’s leader, knowing he would rule his people wisely and well (Psalm 78:40 – 72),

the following song sums up God’s love for us in these acts of kindness, in giving us good advice, healing, sustenance, good leaders and not giving up on us even when we complain, fail to show honor, or give up on Him…

“One thing Remains”

Your love never fails
It never gives up
It never runs out on me
And its higher than the mountains I face
And its stronger than the power of the grave
And constant in the trial and the change
This one thing remains
Cause your love never fails
It never gives up
It never gives out on me
