Psalm 89 is a big song of praise. The man who wrote it just had to sing about two things he loved most about God: God's never-ending love, and the way God always keeps His word.
Today's Story
A singer named Ethan picked up his harp, and he could hardly hold the song inside. He started this way: “I will sing about the Lord's great love forever!”
Ethan wanted everyone to know two wonderful things about God.
First, God's love never, ever runs out. Ethan looked up at the sky and said God's love is even bigger than that. It goes higher than the clouds and wider than the whole sea. You could never reach the end of it, because it has no end.
Second, God always keeps His promises. When God says He will do something, He does it - every time. Ethan sang, “You are faithful, Lord. Your promises stand as steady as the sky.”
Ethan looked around at the bright stars, the rolling waves, the tall mountains, and he sang that they all belong to God. Everything God makes is good, and everything God says is true.
So Ethan kept singing, glad and grateful, because God's love would still be there tomorrow, and the day after that, and forever.
