\"God'sTwenty-six times in twenty-six\u00a0verses, Psalm 136 repeats the phrase “His love endures forever.” I trust after reading the previous posts about this psalm that you have taken time to reflect on<\/a> God’s enduring love and responded to<\/a> His good, kind, faithful, merciful and gracious love with thanksgiving and praise.<\/p>\n

Now let’s personalize it keeping the ministry in which you are involved in mind.<\/p>\n

Read through Psalm 136 and\u00a0you will notice that the psalmist kept it about God, beginning every verse with what God did. Look at your ministry from that perspective and you will be able to join the refrain — His love endures forever<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a ministry worker’s rendition, not near as poetic as the psalm and containing only ten of the refrains (His love endures forever), but you will get the idea:<\/p>\n

Give thanks to the Lord of the harvest.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

Whose wisdom provides a design for staffing to accomplish His purposes.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

Whose guiding hand maps out the way to best meet the needs of people entrusted to our care.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

And who humbles my soul so I feel free to delegate responsibilities to others.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

To Him who helps me adapt when things aren’t going as planned.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

Who gives grace to deal with petty issues.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

To Him who answers prayers, often in powerful ways.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

Whose Truth parts the waters in our hearts, drawing people into a relationship with Himself.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

And who comforts our soul so we can encourage others.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n

Give thanks to the God of hope and peace regardless of whatever comes our way.
\nHis love endures forever.<\/p>\n
