Psalm 135:13 | Be Still: A Devotional Series.

“Your name, O Lord, endures forever,  your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.”

Psalm 135:13. 

When I was young, I thought all roads went on forever. I just assumed there was no end because certain roads where very long, and it made sense in my four year old brain that they just kept going forever. Now, I no longer believe that, but there is a sense of eternity: I know there must be something that lasts forever. That something is God. David pens in Psalm 135:13 that the name of the Lord endures forever. Forever. That does not carry an expiration date. God does not lose glory—His holy name is holy forever. His name will always be holy. Why? Because He will always be. He will always be there. He will always be active. 

God’s name lasts forever because He lasts forever. He does not need to be sustained by something else—He will last forever. He’s the one who sustains us and keeps us going! Here’s what the greatest mercy of this is: God lasts forever, so does not grow tired. He does not need food. He is perfect and strong. He is forever in charge, forever sovereign, forever loving, and forever kind. 

This means you can truly trust that His mercy does not waver, it does not stop, and His love does not end.
