Singing

"I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens." (Psalm 89:1-2 NKJ)

This Psalmist, Ethan ben Ezra, decided to do some forever singing. It seems that he believed in the Forever God. And when we believe in the Forever God, we can sing forever praises!

What is Forever Singing? It is singing praise every morning about God's new mercies. It is singing every day about his compassion, which has kept us from being consumed. Singing every day about his faithfulness. How great it is! Singing every day about our portion in the Lord and the hope he supplies.

Ethan says, “I am never going to stop singing of Jehovah’s mercies. I’m going to tell every generation, children – youth – middle agers – elders, about his faithfulness.”

Now if we sing to the Forever God, then we must be faithful to him. When we talk and sing about his faithfulness, something stirs desire and commitment inside of us. When we become a "forever singer," the Spirit of faithfulness makes us want to become like the one to whom we sing.

I sing that God is faithful, because he is! I sing that he called me into his fellowship, because he did! I sing that he is Lord, because he is! I never want to stop singing, because I am closer to my redemption than I have ever been. I will forever sing of the Lord's mercies.

Dear Father, thank you for your forever mercies and faithfulness. Empower me be faithful to you and sing continuously of your grace and power. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN
