Psalm 89:27-29

Psalm 89:27-29 27 Also I will make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. 28 My mercy I will keep for him forever, and My covenant shall stand firm with him. 29 His seed also I will make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

”The highest of the kings of the earth” this title has to refer to the Christ! If you would like to see the King described please go back and read vs 5-16. As I’m typing this post, Chris Tomlin’s song “Indescribable” comes to mind:

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Look at some of the attributes of Christ’s kingdom:

Eternal - Revelation 11:15 …“The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”.
Spiritual - John 18:36 …“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”
Holy – Ephesians 5:5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Redeemed - Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

What a blessing it is to belong to the King! What a blessing to know that we are His forever!

The psalmist continues “My mercy I will keep for him forever”. We belong to Jesus, we are His having been paid for with His precious blood (1 Corinthians 6:20&7:23, 2 Peter 1). Having paid that price He now stands as our advocate and intercessor with the Father. How much mercy did you require today? How much mercy do you require right at this moment? Christ continually calls upon the mercy of the Father in His position as our advocate. We will spend eternity singing God’s praises for the mercy He has shown to us.

“My covenant will stand firm” - what a comforting thought!. God has said it and that establishes it! There is nothing that can separate us from God – not even ourselves! No condemnation! No wrath! What a wonderful place for the Christian to stand! (see Romans 8)

Stand firm in the promise that you belong to Him. Live a life that is holy and pleasing unto the Lord. Remember to draw upon His strength and to thank Him for His unimaginable mercy every minute of your life!
