Psalm 89, 96, 100, 101, 105, 132
The Psalmist praises God for His faithfulness. Prophetically, we are brought to the chosen Messiah, the one who will lead us into Zion, God's holy dwelling. We are given words of hope as we face the inevitability of our physical deaths. God's faithfulness is enduring, death cannot prevent Him from accomplishing His will for our lives. The grave has no power over His promises. The Son of David, our King, is still upon the throne. Even though we are faithless, He is keeping the covenant established through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We do not have a God who seeks out a loophole so that He might be released from the agreement. Rather, our God keeps His part of the contract in spite of us not keeping ours. Can you imagine your insurance company paying the agreed amount, even when you have failed to continue paying the premium you agreed on? Why, that's ludicrous to expect such a thing! Yet, that is exactly what God is doing for us. He keeps His end of the agreement even when we fail to keep ours. Is it any wonder that the Psalmist cannot help but to praise God?!
