Scripture: Psalm (NIV) 98:3 He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Observation: No matter where people live in the earth, if they can read a newspaper, if they can hear a radio, if they can look on the internet, they are very likely aware of the small nation of Israel. It exists today as a display or testimony to God’s love and faithfulness in keeping His word.
Application: Israel’s God is my God! He kept his word to Israel; He keeps his word to me! His faithfulness to Israel is not because they have been so perfect. His faithfulness to Israel is because He is faithful to Himself and His word! His faithfulness to me is also based on his faithfulness to Himself and His word.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, you are, and will be, faithful in dealing with sin. You will fulfill your word that the wage of sin is death. You are also faithful in dealing with those who confess their sins. You are faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. (1John 1:8-10) Amen
