Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible. The ironic thing is that my thoughts on the chapter are going to be longer than the chapter itself. One might be confused when reading this chapter in different versions because some say God’s kindness and truth last forever and others his love and faithfulness.
I, though, don’t want to focus on those minor issues (the words are closer than we may think), but on the idea, the psalmist makes on the everlasting nature of these attributes. God isn’t one thing and then another. God is always the same and his attributes don’t change. Our actions do, and our relationship with him can but he doesn’t change. He doesn’t become something else. He isn’t progressively growing into something else he is. Or as He described himself “I AM.”
