“To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth forever.” — Psalm 136:16 (KJV)
Psalm 136 is a very special psalm. It is a song of praise. The greatness, power, and mercy of God are highlighted, and each verse is a call to praise the Lord for His wondrous works.
The journey of the Israelites toward Canaan was one through the wilderness. During that wilderness journey, God performed many mighty acts before the people of Israel, manifesting His presence among them. Yet, not all of them believed in Him wholeheartedly. Still, the Lord, not magnifying their unbelief but correcting them with His judgments, ultimately led them into the land of Canaan.
The spiritual life of a Christian is also like a wilderness journey. The apostles Paul and Barnabas clearly understood this. Therefore, even when they were persecuted and driven out of Antioch, they were not discouraged. Instead, we read: “Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” — Acts 14:22 (KJV)
The Lord Jesus Christ also said, “In the world ye shall have tribulation.” — John 16:33 (KJV)
Though our spiritual journey is like walking through a wilderness, there is a joyful Canaan awaiting us at the end. This is because of the mercy of God. As today’s meditation verse declares: “To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.” — Psalm 136:16 (KJV)
Furthermore, the same Psalm continues: “Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever.” — Psalm 136:23 (KJV)
Yes, beloved, our God gives grace to the humble. “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” — James 4:6 (KJV)
Therefore, as the Psalm encourages us, even if our lives today are humble, even if we walk through the struggles of a wilderness-like existence, let us not murmur but rather praise Him continually. He who led His people through the wilderness will also lead us—if we live as His people—and grant us a pleasant and blessed future.
Moreover, dear ones, let us read and meditate on this 136th Psalm with genuine and eager hearts. As we do, we will realize how each verse reveals the knowledge and power of our God. This will strengthen our faith. Do not grumble about the wilderness of life; instead, praise Him who leads us through it, for His mercy endureth forever.
