One of my favorite songs from my camp counselor days has a few lines that say "Blessed be the Lord, our God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!" This song reminds us that God is everlasting - he is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end - and because he has always been, his love has always been as well. What a blessing to know that before time began, God loved me and you and all y'all - and he still does today, and he will continue to love us forever! His love is, indeed, "from everlasting to everlasting", and it is, indeed, "steadfast" - never wavering, always solid and secure. What an amazing love!
Some things to think about as you discuss this week:
- Verses 15-16 use a simile to compare people with grass and flowers. How does David draw this connection?
- Looking at verses 17-18, why is that connection significant to us as God's people?
- What does verse 19 tell us about the nature of God?
- How do these verses impact your faith?
