Psalm 118:1
"Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good for his steadfast love endures forever!"
Wonderful truth..."his steadfast love." We glory in His unending love. Nothing can negate it nor in any way interrupt it. Nothing can "separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38,39).
But this glorious truth doesn't stand alone. He is a loving Father who, however, deals with insubordinate children. He can give them a good spanking. And so, His love doesn't negate or toss this verse out:
"For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastens every son whom he receives" (Hebrews 12;6).
