Psalms 89:8. O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
Note how the psalmist harps upon that one string, - "faithfulness." Ah, dear friends, there are times when this is the sweetest note in the whole scale! "Thy faithfulness": we have a God who never forgets his promises, but keeps them to the moment; a God who never changes; a God who never turns away from his word. "Thy faithfulness." Oh, what a blessed virtue is this in God! Let us praise him for it for ever. "Try faithfulness round about thee": as if the Lord never went outside the ring of faithfulness, never did anything that broke his promises, or that made any of his children to doubt; and it is even so.
