Truth #206 - We were created to sing praises to God and about God - Psalm 87-89

Psalms 89:1
I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever;
with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

Truth:  Our mouths and voices are created to sing and proclaim the love of God.

The above verse has been quoted and song in churches for centuries.   The truth that God's steadfast love is ... steadfast ... is an incredible and amazing truth.   Despite our constant sin against Him and our failing after failing, God continues to love us in the midst of the sin and despite the sin.   He has so loved us that He even poured that love into our hearts, through Christ and by the Spirit.   His steadfast love is in our lives and it should burst forth in the praise depicted in the above verse.  Our voices were created to sing praise to God's love.   We are to proclaim how faithful He is to every generation.   Christianity flourishes in this concept.  One generation boast about God's love and faithfulness to another generation.   God does what He says He will do ... that is being faithful.   God loves us because He said He would ... He is faithful to His own Word.  His promises are sure.  This gives us reason to sing and praise Him!!   We need to lift up our voices and shout at the top of our lungs that God loves and is faithful.  In a world that lacks both these two, we need to remind the generation to follow that God continues to love and continues to be faithful to His Word and His plan, despite how corrupt we are.
