A Look at Psalm 119:90
His Faithfulness Endures
Psalm 119:90 “Your Faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.”
The earth endures! The earth is the oldest thing man knows. Our bodies came from the earth and will return to the earth. Everything we see, feel, hear, taste, and smell comes from this earth. It is our total, carnal, source. It has endured flood, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, and world wars. In spite of all of that, it continues to be the source for all of our temporal needs. The earth has never failed man. Man has failed man, but the earth never has.
It is to this standard (earth) that God likens His faithfulness. His faithfulness continues through all generations. The faithfulness of God is as enduring as the earth. All generations are given the opportunity to partake in His faithfulness. The whole earth is filled with the mercy of God.
Every generation from the beginning of time has been given the chance to experience His faithfulness, whether they deserved it or not. So it is not an issue of what we deserve. If we received what we deserved, we would all be lost. It is an issue of the faithfulness of God. Because God is faithful, every generation has had an equal opportunity to benefit from it.
His faithfulness is tested through trials. Though the earth has gone through horrendous trials, it always comes through. It always endures. We cannot even relate to the faithfulness of God until we go through trials. In the midst of trials, we must remember the faithfulness of God. His faithfulness will endure.
Let me encourage you to take some time today to meditate on this verse and while you do, think of the faithfulness of God, and how He has always ultimately come through.
