From the beginning of Scripture, we know that God existed before the worlds began; before He spoke them into being. At the end in Revelation, He declares that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. As God's men, we have the complete and total confidence that the One who created Heaven and Earth is the everlasting God who never faints or grows weary; who will never leave us or forsake us and will be with us to the end of the ages.
As we continue to adventure through Psalm 119, we see that the psalmist didn't miss this essential biblical truth. He boldly declares in verses 89 and 90: Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures. This is our Father's lifetime guarantee--one that lasts for eternity for those who trust in Christ as their Savior. Because God's Word never changes and is everlasting, we can trust completely in what He reveals to us through Scripture. That God is always faithful to his creation gives us confidence that He is working all things for good for those who love him (Romans 8:28).
That the psalmist could focus on these powerful truths in the midst of dealing with arrogance (v. 21), weariness (v. 28), mocking criticism (v. 51), wickedness (v. 53), character assaults (v. 69), discomfort (v. 82) and persecution (v. 86) speaks strongly on the strength we have to draw upon; thanks to our lifetime guarantee--the greatness of God's faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23).
