Week 2, Thursday Psalm 89:1-4

Good day, fellow Bloggers!

Today, we turn to the Old Testament, the record of God's developing and ongoing relationship with the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Patriarchs, and through them to King David, and through him, Jesus. You and I stand today in that long line of spiritual ancestry. What is the Psalmist's message to us during this season of Advent--of waiting for the Messiah to come into our manger and into lives?

In verse 3, the Psalmist sings of the "covenant" made with the Chosen One, whom I assume to be Israel. A covenant is an agreement meant to be stronger, more binding, and long-lasting than any contract. If God indeed honors this covenant to build and preserve the throne of David and his descendants forever, hos does that translate into our culture today? How do you interpret current events in light of God's promise sung by the Psalmist?

Until later, when someone comments, Pastor Paul
