World History is suffused by the Mercy of God.
Whatever the headlines, His steadfast love endures forever!
We have spirituality in our everyday life.
Mother Julian of Norwich lived at a time when
"The Baron Knights" thought that they were the
important history makers of their day.
Clad in chain mail and suits of armor they imposed
violent subjugation with swords and iron maces!
They would not have written Mother Julian
into the history of their day.
Mother Julian of Norwich was 35
when Richard II was crowned king of England at the age of 10.
In 1380 John Wycliffe began to translate the New Testament
into English from Latin.
In 1373 Mother Julian experienced her visions.
In 1381 There was a peasants revolt over poll tax.
In 1382 Winchester College was founded.
In 1388 The Scots won the battle of Otterburn.
In 1394 Richard took an army to reconquer the West of Ireland.
In 1398 Richard (Dick) Whittington became Lord mayor of London.
In 1399 Richard II returned from Ireland, was deposed
and starved to death while imprisoned in Pontefract castle.
Between each of these headlines we could sing;-
Give thanks to the LORD our God, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever. Psalm 136:1 NIV
His mercy (Strongs H 2617) favour, goodness, kindness, lovingkindness.
from Hebrew word hesed ,
which is used in the bible to express
the covenant that exists between the Lord and his people,
which relationship includes;
faithfulness, loyalty, love and God's mercy.
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good
for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136:1 KJV
Jesus and his disciples may have sung Psalm 135 and 136
before departing for the Mount of Olives
on the night of the last supper !
Over the centuries, singing this psalm has prompted gratitude
for the memory of the peoples redemption and of their liberation.
It is a sign of the eternal mercy of God which touches people
personally and identifies us as chosen people, loved by God.
A love revealed in Jesus Christ who's followers;- believers,
faithful servants of the Lord, His anointed Ones,
will experience salvation, even victory over evil and death.
In Psalm 136:1 we read O give thanks to the Lord (KJV)
In STRONGS H3068 The word used here for Lord is YHWH
Jehovah, the Jewish national name of God .
In Psalm 136 we read
verse 2 O give thanks unto the God of gods
and in verse 3, O give thanks unto the Lord of lords.
and in Revelation 17:14 KJV we read;-
.......the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords and King of kings
and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful.
