Shalom,
We read Psalm 89 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today and I LOVE it! Look at verses 1-8:
1 I will sing of the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord forever; with my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation. 2 For I have said, Mercy and loving-kindness shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness will You establish in the very heavens [unchangeable and perpetual]. 3 [You have said] I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant, 4 Your Seed I will establish forever, and I will build up your throne for all generations. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 5 Let heaven (the angels) praise Your wonders, O Lord, Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones (the holy angels). 6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the mighty [heavenly beings] can be likened to the Lord, 7 A God greatly feared and revered in the council of the holy (angelic) ones, and to be feared and worshipfully revered above all those who are round about Him? 8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a mighty one like unto You, O Lord? And Your faithfulness is round about You [an essential part of You at all times].Our GOD is EXACTLY Who HE, in His Word, says that HE is! His WORD is TRUTH (John 17:17) and He CANNOT lie! (Hebrews 6:18). Look at the footnote from my study Bible on verse 3:
- Psalm 89:3 “This covenant most incontestably had Jesus Christ in view. This is the Seed or Posterity Who would sit on the throne and reign forever and ever. David and his family have long since become extinct; none of his race has sat on the Jewish throne for more than two thousand years. But the Christ... will reign until all His enemies are put under His feet (Psalm 110:1; I Corinthians 15:25, 27; Ephesians 1:22); and to this the psalmist says, Selah.” (One of many similar 19th-century comments.)
I hope that YOU will continue to put all of your trust IN HIM! I DO! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Days Like These":
Shalom in Him!
