1 Chronicles 16:12-43

HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER

Keywords 16:34

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

 

1. He is the LORD our God (12-36)

Ascribe, worship, and tremble! (28-30). We are to ascribe to the LORD the glory

due his name. He called the Israelites as his chosen people, established an

everlasting covenant with them, and protected them. We are to worship him in his

splendor and holiness because he is great and most worthy of praise. We tremble

before him because he upholds the earth by the power of his word and splendor

and majesty are before him. Even more, we are to rejoice and give thanks to Him

for he comes to judge the earth and he has saved his people. Praise the LORD!

His love endures forever!

 

2. His love inspires obedience (37-43)

Asaph and his associates were left to minister before the ark of the LORD while

Zadok and his fellow priests were assigned to the tabernacle at Gibeon to perform

the duties written in the Law of the LORD. Heman and Jeduthun were designated

as worship leaders. What inspired all of this? Obedience flows from a recognition

of God’s everlasting love for his people. The Israelites went back to their homes in

peace.

 

Prayer Father, thank you for your everlasting love.

One Word Give glory to God!
