Psalm 89

Reading this psalm we see the glorious reign of God and His promise to David to establish and keep his descendants on the throne forever (v.3-4) This promise is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ.  Even through Israels disobedience, God said He would never take away His love, betray His faithfulness, violate His covenant or change what He said (v.33-34).   We know this is true because centuries after this Psalm was written Jesus arrived.  So the promises God gave us then, are ours to stand on now.  God is who He says He is and He will do what He says He can do.  Because of Jesus and the cross we now have Gods faithful love with us. (v.24)  Without God's Spirit in us we are weak and incapable of any spiritual task.  On the flip side of that, when we allow God to fill us with His Spirit, He will accomplish more through us than we can ever imagine.  We are commanded and empowered by God to go forth in His strength with the power of His spirit  - by a promise given to us over 2000 years ago and fulfilled through Jesus.  I pray for all of today that we put on our full armor and walk with the posture and strength our Lord has given us.
