His Steadfast Love Endures Forever (Psalm 136) | Charles Spurgeon

Deep Dive into The Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon - Psalm 136Charles Spurgeon's commentary on Psalm 136 explores the profound and enduring nature of God's mercy, a theme repeated at the end of every verse to emphasize His unwearied and unexhausted free grace. The psalm is structured to guide the worshipper through various aspects of divine action, beginning with a threefold praise to the Triune Lord.The psalmist first directs gratitude toward God as the solitary Creator and Wonder-worker. God's immense wisdom and mercy are displayed in the creation of the heavens, the earth, and the great luminaries, including the sun to govern the day, and the moon and stars to bring comfort and order to the night. Following this, the commentary transitions to God's historical deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage. Spurgeon highlights that God's severe judgments upon Egypt, such as striking the firstborn and overthrowing Pharaoh's army in the Red Sea, were simultaneously profound acts of mercy toward His chosen people.Furthermore, the commentary reflects on God's faithful guidance through the barren wilderness, where He supported and protected the Israelites for forty years. This journey included divine protection against formidable adversaries, specifically mighty rulers like Sihon and Og, whose defeats cleared the path for Israel to inherit the Promised Land.Finally, the psalm shifts from national history to personal and universal gratitude. God is praised for remembering His people in their lowest states and redeeming them from their spiritual and physical enemies. The scope of His mercy then widens to encompass all creation, as He is recognized for providing food to all flesh. The commentary concludes by elevating praise to the God of heaven, affirming that His benevolent providence and mercy extend across all generations for eternity.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReformedExplainerSpotify Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1t5dz4vEgvHqUknYQfwpRI?si=e-tDRFR2Qf6By1sAcMdkdwhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
