Praising God’s Faithfulness

I will sing of the LORD’s unfailing love forever!

Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.

Your unfailing love will last forever.

Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

Psalm 89:1-2

Early in David’s reign, God promised David that his dynasty and his kingdom would “continue before me for all time” (2 Samuel 7:16). This prayer of Ethan reminds us how God had begun to fulfill his promises to David. This was evidence to Ethan of God’s “unfailing love”—a love that would last forever and forever.

Jesus Christ has fulfilled God’s promise to David. Jesus Christ—a descendant of David through his earthly father Joseph—was raised from the dead so he could rule at the right hand of God the Father (Mark 14:61-62; Acts 5:29-32). And the Lord has mercifully included us in his Kingdom. Reflect on God’s faithfulness to you through Christ.

• Dear Lord, thank you for your unfailing love . . .
