For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
"To all generations" is an unusually long timescale for anyone to promise anything. Most commitments come with fine print, an expiration, a person's limits. This verse names something that reaches past any single person's lifespan — a love the psalmist says has been steady across every generation that's ever tested it.
That kind of claim is hard to verify from where you're standing, and it's fair to be skeptical of it. But notice what it isn't: it isn't a claim about your circumstances always working out. It's a claim about a character trait — goodness, steadfast love, faithfulness — that the psalmist says doesn't fluctuate with the times.
If you've watched people's commitments erode over the years, worn down by circumstance or convenience, this verse is describing something that's supposed to work differently. Whether that's true is worth investigating rather than assuming either way.
If a love that doesn't wear out sounds almost implausible, it might be worth looking honestly at the evidence for it.
