Psalms 89:3-4 (KJV) Run To The Scriptures

Psalms 89:3-4 (KJV)
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
The writer of this Psalm is likely one who began his ministry in the later days of David but lived to see the decline of his kingdom under Rehoboam. In such times of decline it is helpful to reach back to the promises of God. This Psalm takes us back to 2 Samuel 7 and, under the anointing of the Holy Ghost, gives clarity to the promises to David and his seed;
His seed is established forever and His throne to all generations
Vs 3-4
This is fulfilled only in Jesus Christ.
The enemy shall not afflict him
Vs 20-23
This again can only find fulfillment in Jesus.
His seed and throne will endure as the sun
Vs 35-37
Only in Christ can this be fulfilled.
Times of deep affliction can be those times when we search the Scriptures and find clarity and understanding that only makes sense when we need it most. Those times are important times to be in the Scriptures, not to run from them.
