I believe in the power of scripture and its ability to lift our spirits, inspire and bring us into the presence of God. This week I want to do something a little bit different. This week I want you to take a moment each day, and with childlike wonder pray, meditate and spend some time with God while prayerfully going through Psalm 136.

Take stock of how God loves us and spend some time thanking him for the blessings that he bestows upon us. Rediscover what it was like to have that sense of thankfulness and awe that God so richly deserves. And take this passage of scripture all through out your day as a reminder that God loves you and will take care of you, just as he did with the Israelites mentioned in this passage, because his love endures forever.
