Jeremiah 16:10-21

Psalm 89

Romans 7:1-12

John 6:1-15

Psalm 89

“I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever….” Psalm 89:1

The Lord’s love and faithfulness endure throughout all the generations. His love endures forever. His love always overcomes.

There is no one who compares with our precious Lord. In His omniscience, beauty and joy, He created the universe and everything in it. The tiers of stars, the depth of the seas, created He them.

He created His servant David, the warrior king, a type of Christ. Like all of us, David failed in many ways, but because of the Lord’s love and faithfulness, he endured as a mighty king and lover of God; a man after God’s own heart.

Sometimes in the dark night of the soul, it may seem to us that the Lord has forgotten or forsaken us. Our Father allowed His only Son Jesus to be our propitiation. The Lord was angry with His anointed one, covered Him with the mantle of our shame and let him bear the taunts of all the nations. Sometimes we, like Christ say, where is your great love?

It may have appeared to the world that Christ was rejected and forsaken by His Father ~ this He suffered for us and our sins, past, present and future. Herein is His great love: Jesus died on a wooden cross for you and me. At the end, He still continued to pour out His amazing love to blood, regardless of the treatment He received.

Jesus had power over the grave and was resurrected that beautiful Easter day.

I will maintain my love to him forever. v.28

I will not take my love from him. v.33

I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever. v.1

He loves you truly.
