Psalm. 136:1-9
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. 
His love endures forever. 
Give thanks to the God of gods. 
His love endures forever. 
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: 
His love endures forever. 
To him who alone does great wonders, 
His love endures forever. 
Who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever. 
Who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever. 
Who made the great lights— 
His love endures forever. 
The sun to govern the day, 
His love endures forever. 
The moon and stars to govern the night; 
His love endures forever.  
To him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt His love endures forever. 
And brought Israel out from among them; 
His love endures forever. 
With a mighty hand and outstretched arm; 
His love endures forever."

Reflection. In the midst of war and rumours of war and fears of more war, we need to know that the love of God is steadfast and endures forever. Well, I need reminding that God is sovereign. 

What is going on in Ukraine makes the cost of living difficulties seem like small beer. But, to those who are struggling with costs and rising inflation, they are definitely not small beer. It might seem scant comfort, yet to our communities, let's say clearly that God is steadfast and his love endures forever.

What can we do to help?

Prayer. Lord God Almighty, Spirit, Son, Father, we look to you for help. You are our refuge and strength, a helper close at hand. Thank you. Amen.
