He is eternal, but our lives here on earth are just a spark, a fleeting moment in time.īut despite the short span of our life, we have a responsibility to make it matter. He does not change, but our surroundings do. He is worthy when life is good, and He is worthy when life is hard. The fact is that despite outward circumstances, God is worthy of praise. And then the Psalm ends much as it begins, with promises of eternal praise to God. And the covenant that God made with David is remembered, but David’s descendants have forsaken God’s law, and therefore God has withdrawn his protection and blessings from Israel. So as bad as things are, there is hope.Īnd then Psalm 89 begins with praises to God with all of His love, majesty, faithfulness, might, righteousness and justice. And yet, remember how the author opened, with a confession that God is his savior. In the opening, he confesses that God is his savior, and immediately begins telling God about the anguish he is in, and seems to wrap up by saying that it is God who has put him in this place. The writer is pouring out his heart to God.
