Psalm 117
Psalm 117 holds the distinction of being the shortest chapter in the entire Bible. If you want to impress someone, tell them that you have memorized an entire Psalm, and then recite Psalm 117. They can't say you weren't telling them the truth.
While it may be short, this Psalm has important things to teach us. It tells us that God's love for us is great. As Christians, we know that God showed His love for us most clearly when He sent His Son to this Earth to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
God demonstrates His love for us in a multitude of other ways. God has provided a beautiful world for us to live in. Our needs are provided by the Lord. God shows His love by giving us things that make us happy.
This Psalm tells us the the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. He will never leave us or forsake us. The Lord has promised that those who love Him will be with Him for all eternity. We can see in the Bible how God faithfully kept His promises to Abraham, David and Israel. He will also be faithful to honor all the promises that He has made to those who believe in Him. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
