God Remembers His Promise

Sing a new song to the LORD, for He has done wonderful deeds. His right hand has won a mighty victory; His holy arm has shown His saving power! The LORD has announced His victory and has revealed His righteousness to every nation! He has remembered His promise to love and be faithful to Israel. The ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. Shout to the LORD, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for joy! Sing your praise to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and melodious song, with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn. Make a joyful symphony before the LORD, the King! Let the sea and everything in it shout His praise! Let the earth and all living things join in. Let the rivers clap their hands in glee! Let the hills sing out their songs of joy before the LORD. For the LORD is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with fairness. Psalm 98:1-9 

The Lord has remembered His promise to love and be faithful to Israel. His promise was first to Abram when He called him to go to Canaan.

Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." Genesis 12:1-3 NASB

In Abram, all the world will be blessed. Israel and the whole world. Abram is the father of Issac, the father of Jacob, who was later renamed, Israel. The father of all the nation of Israel. God promised over and over that He would be their God and give them the Land. He made a covenant with Abram as recorded in Genesis 15.

And He (God) took him (Abram) outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be." Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness. And He said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it." Genesis 15:5-7 NASB

The Lord promises. At just the right time. That time is still to come…just the right time. God’s time.

This is what the LORD says: "At just the right time, I will respond to you. On the day of salvation I will help you. I will protect you and give you to the people as my covenant with them. Through you I will reestablish the land of Israel and assign it to its own people again. Isaiah 49:8 NLT

We wait on the Lord for His right time…and trust that He will keep His promise to Israel. In the meantime…sing to the Lord and pray for Jerusalem and all of Israel.

Prayer ~ Lord, we trust you to keep Your promises for You are holy, powerful, righteous, and worthy of our praise. You are our Creator, our Savior, our Deliverer and our almighty Judge. Worthy is the Lamb. Let the whole world and everything in it sing out in joy before You.
