His Steadfast Love Endures Forever: Psalm 136 and the Covenant Love of God
Series: Walking Through the Psalms
Podcast: Servants of Grace Podcast
Host: Dave Jenkins
Show Summary
In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms on the Servants of Grace Podcast, Dave Jenkins teaches through Psalm 136 and explains how this psalm leads God’s people to remember His mighty works through the repeated refrain, “for his steadfast love endures forever.” From creation to redemption to providence and present care, Psalm 136 shows that every work of God reveals His faithful covenant love.
This psalm was likely used in corporate worship, with a leader declaring the mighty acts of God and the congregation responding together with the same refrain. As a result, Psalm 136 does not merely recount history. It teaches believers how to interpret all of life through the lens of God’s steadfast love. The God who created the heavens and the earth, delivered Israel from Egypt, led His people through the wilderness, and remembered them in their low estate is the same God who remembers His people today.
In this episode, Dave also shows how Psalm 136 pairs with Psalm 135 and ultimately points forward to the greatest display of God’s covenant love in Jesus Christ. Because of Christ, believers can say with even greater confidence: His steadfast love endures forever.
