“The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” -Psalm 138:8 (ESV)
When we believe the promises that God has given us and see their fulfillment, it is good for us to take the time to express our confidence in the promises. Earlier in this Psalm the author, David claims that when he called, God answered his call and gave him the needed strength. Our promise here is that our LORD God will do the same for us fulfilling His purpose for us. His purpose, not necessarily our purpose unless we are in alignment with God’s will. We believe David was in alignment and desired God’s purpose in his life. Another translation says, “The LORD will accomplish what concerns me.” And yet another renders the words “The LORD will vindicate me.” Whatever God’s purpose for each of us is, our God will fulfill it, He will accomplish all that concerns us, and if we need vindication, He will do that as well. All in all we depend on God fulfilling His promises and He never forsakes that because his love is steadfast, His mercy is forever. God will not walk off the job of fulfilling His word to us leaving it unfinished. We have divine confidence because He has promised.
