Introduction

Good morning, dear church family. It's a joy to gather with you today, as we gather under the banner of God's grace, united by His love, and guided by His Word. Today, we turn our hearts and minds to Psalm 89:1-4, a passage that radiates the grandeur of God, the guarantee of His eternal throne, and the holy embodiment of His love.

I invite you to open your Bibles and read along with me:

"I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself. You said, 'I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant, I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.'"

These words, penned by the psalmist, offer us a glimpse into the vast reservoir of God's love, a love so deep, so wide, so high, and so long that it defies human comprehension. It's a love that's grand and majestic, yet intimate and personal. It's a love that promises an eternal throne, a love that has found its ultimate expression in His Holy One.

God's Grandeur and Love

As we immerse ourselves in the first few verses of Psalm 89, we encounter the declaration of the Lord's great love. This love, the psalmist tells us, is not a fleeting emotion or a temporary state of affection. It is a love that is grand, majestic, and eternal. It is a love that is so vast and so deep that it defies human comprehension. It is a love that is not just grand in scale, but grand in its impact on our lives.

The psalmist uses the metaphor of singing to express this grandeur. Singing, in the biblical context, is often associated with celebration, joy, and praise. It is a way of expressing deep emotions and profound truths. When the psalmist says that he will sing of the Lord's great love forever, he is not just expressing his personal feelings of affection for God. He is declaring a profound truth about the nature of God's love. It is a love that is worthy of our highest praise, our deepest joy, and our most heartfelt celebration.

This grandeur of God's love is not just an abstract concept. It is a concrete reality that has been demonstrated in the history of God's people. The psalmist reminds us that God's love has been made known through all generations. This is not just a reference to the past, but a promise for the future. God's love is not confined to a particular time or place. It is a love that spans the ages, transcends the generations, and reaches into eternity.

The psalmist also speaks of God's faithfulness. This is a key aspect of God's grandeur and love. God's faithfulness is not just a characteristic of His nature. It is a manifestation of His love. When God makes a promise, He keeps it. When He makes a covenant, He fulfills it. His faithfulness is a guarantee of His love. It is a reassurance that His love is not just a feeling, but a commitment. It is a love that is steadfast, unchanging, and reliable.

This faithfulness of God is not just a theoretical idea. It is a practical reality that has been demonstrated in the life of David, the servant of God. The psalmist reminds us that God made a covenant with David, promising to establish his line forever and make his throne firm through all generations. This is a powerful illustration of God's faithfulness. Despite David's failures and shortcomings, God remained faithful to His promise. His love for David was not based on David's performance, but on His own commitment. This is a powerful reminder for us today. God's love for us is not based on our performance, but on His faithfulness. His love for us is not conditional, but unconditional. His love for us is not temporary, but eternal.
