A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 89

A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 89
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;
With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.” And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints. O Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
“But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail (Psalm 89: 1-2,5,8,24,33).

In our devotional journey through the Psalms, God’s faithfulness is a strong theme. In Psalm 89 it is used six different times. Here is what we discover about God’s faithfulness in these six verses…
 
God’s faithfulness will never fail or disappear. Every generation from the beginning of time has known and experienced God’s faithfulness. Today, everyone in the body of Christ can raise a banner proclaiming “God is Faithful”. His faithfulness is not an ideal, but a reality. His faithfulness surrounds you, and is with you on every path He leads you and in every trial you walk through. God’s faithfulness is fail proof. HE WILL NOT FAIL!
 
Our response to God’s faithfulness in our lives is a simple one, it is TRUST! A nineteenth-century writer got it right when she said, “Perfect obedience would be perfect happiness, if we had full confidence in the One we were obeying.”
 
In our “even though” situations of life our trust in the Lord’s faithfulness can remain firm:

Trust Him as you take His hand, even though it means letting go of what you’re holding on to.

Trust Him as you please His heart, even though it may not please others.

Trust Him as you wait for His time, even though your desire is to get it done now.

Trust Him as you obey His Word, even though you hear something different that is popular.

Trust Him as you follow His path, even though you see a valley ahead.

Trust Him as He shows you His wisdom, even though you would do it differently.
