Walk Of Life – Day 09, November 2022 – Thoughts From The Book Of Psalms

God’s faithfulness can’t be turned on and off. It can’t be removed from him. Faithfulness is part of God’s nature, as we saw yesterday, and our reading for today says that God’s faithfulness “surrounds” him.

Psalm 89 states that God’s love “stands firm for-ever,” and God is mighty. These attributes together are closely connected with faithfulness. God’s love compels him to be faithful toward us, and God’s might enables him to overcome any obstacle that stands in the way of that faithfulness.

Today’s psalm tells us that God expressed his powerful faithfulness in a covenant with King David. God swore an oath to David that his line would be established forever and his throne would be made firm through all generations (see 2 Samuel 7). God faithfully kept that promise in Jesus Christ and now, through him, God also keeps that promise to us.

Paul expressed God’s invincible faithfulness in these words: “I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39). Nothing can tear us away from our Lord who stands faithful guard over our lives (John 10:28-29).

The well known chorus is based on this particular psalm.

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever,
I will sing, I will sing;

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.
I will sing, I will sing;

With my mouth will I make known
Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness,
With my mouth will I make known
Thy faithfulness to all generations.

His faithfulness never ends. and there are many other songs that tells about the faithfulness of God.Sing this song

Lord, I come before Your throne of grace;
I find rest in Your presence
And fulness of joy.
In worship and wonder
I behold Your face,
Singing what a faithful God have I.

What a faithful God have I,
What a faithful God.
What a faithful God have I,
Faithful in every way.

Lord of mercy, You have heard my cry;
Through the storm You’re the beacon,
My song in the night.
In the shelter of Your wings,
Hear my heart’s reply,
Singing what a faithful God have I.

Lord all sovereign, granting peace from heaven,
Let me comfort those who suffer
With the comfort You have given.
I will tell of Your great love for as long as I live,
Singing what a faithful God have I.
