Forever God is Faithful

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 89:33-41. The Psalmist reminds God of His promises to David. God promised to be faithful to David and show His loving-kindness toward him. He promised not to break His covenant with David. God promised His seed to endure forever.

All these promises God made to David, but the Psalmist was concerned about the trouble David was going through at the time. He couldn’t understand why David seemed to be cast away from God. The Psalmist questions why God had broken His covenant with David. Why has David become a reproach to his neighbors? There were times in David’s life when he was disobedient to God and it caused turmoil in his life.

Remember the Psalmist doesn’t know what we know today, that Jesus came out of the seed of David, which means David’s seed will last forever as God promised. Jesus sits on the right hand of God on His throne. We may fail God, but God’s promises will never fail. He is faithful.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 89:33-41

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

Things to think about:

What are some of the promises of God we can rely on?
Why does the Psalmist think God has turned His back on David and forsaken His promises to him?
What makes you believe God is faithful?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 89, where the Psalmist reminds us of Your promises to David. Help us to know that Your promises stand. We can count on You to be faithful to us. Help us to be obedient and stand by our promises to You. Forgive us of the times we have failed You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

God is Faithful

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 89:22-32. God is faithful to His promises. He promised to be faithful to David. He protected David from the enemy. He showed mercy to David. How often do we experience God’s faithfulness?

God has a plan for us and our life. Even though sometimes we are not faithful and things seem to go by the wayside, God has an ultimate plan and He will work out His will.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11).

The Psalmist reminded God of all the promises He made to David. God says if His children don’t obey Him, He will visit their transgressions. Remember as a child, when you would disobey your parents, there would be consequences for your actions. I remember a few times as a child, when I got in trouble and was punished for my behavior. When we are disobedient to God we will suffer the consequences of our disobedience. God loves us. He wants the best for us, but He can’t ignore our sin. God is faithful to us and He wants us to be faithful to Him as well.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 89:22-32

22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

Things to think about:

How often have you experienced God’s faithfulness in your life?
In what ways do you find God faithful?
What are some ways we can show our faithfulness to God?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 89:22-32, where the Psalmist reminds us of Your faithfulness. Thank You for being faithful to Your children. Help us to show our love for You by being faithful to You as well. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
