God made a covenant with David, promising that his kingdom would last 
forever. And yet after the reign of David’s son Solomon, the kingdom was 
divided, and within a few hundred years both the northern kingdom and 
the southern kingdom were destroyed (2 Kings 17 and 25).

For those living in the generations of captivity that followed, God’s 
promise to David must have seemed like a fairy tale. Their experience 
held no evidence of any great Israelite kingdom or king on the rise. 
Psalm 89, written during this time, begins with God’s faithfulness but 
ends with the people’s troubles: “Lord, where is your steadfast love of 
old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David? Remember, O Lord, 
how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of 
all the many nations” (Psalm 89:49-50). Speaking into that context of 
distress and hopelessness, the prophets reminded the people, Wait a 
minute! Though it doesn’t look like God’s promise is still in effect, 
you can be sure it is, because of His covenant love. There’s more to 
come. They spoke of the future:

For to us a child is born,

 to us a son is given;

and the government shall be upon his shoulder,

 and his name shall be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

 Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and of peace

 there will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

 to establish it and to uphold it

with justice and with righteousness

 from this time forth and forevermore.

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)

There was still, said the prophets, another place, another name, another 
rest, another kingdom, and another throne to come. The failures of God’s 
people did not mean that God had forgotten His promise. It would all be 
fulfilled in Jesus.

History repeats itself. Whether because of disease, persecution, 
politics or grief, we will at times find ourselves in that place of 
confusion that Psalm 89 gives voice to. In such a time (which is really 
any time before Jesus returns), we need prophetic voices to remind us of 
God’s covenant faithfulness—that our Lord reigns on His throne both now 
and forever. So today, take heart. Your failures do not mean that God 
has forgotten His promise. There is more to come.

Thank you for confirming that you did, indeed, *FAIL* to repair a 
narrowboat water pump!

I did tell you that it wasn't worth the effort to try! ;-)
