Read Psalms 118:29  This verse gives us 2 attributes of God.  An attribute is like saying "Sally is always late," or "You can always depend upon Daddy to pay the bills."  When we say someone's name, and just by saying their name, we think about something, that is an attribute of them.  There are good attributes and there are bad attributes.  It is kind of sad when someone thinks "lazy" when they say our name.  It is sad when someone thinks "looses their temper" when they say our name.  Wouldn't it be much better to think of  the attributes that are mentioned in our verse for today?  Read verse 29 again.  What are the 2 attributes of God here in this verse?  God is ___; His ___ endures forever.  I sure would like someone to say that I am good and that I am merciful.  Wouldn't you like someone to say you are good and merciful?  Then ask God to help you to be merciful and kind every day, and eventually that will become one of your attributes.  Wouldn't that be great?
