90. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. This is an additional glory: God is not affected by the lapse of ages; he is not only faithful to one man throughout his lifetime, but to his children’s children after him, and to all generations so long as they keep his covenant and remember his commandments to do them. He who succored his servants thousands of years ago still shows himself strong on the behalf of all them that trust him. Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. Nature is governed by fixed laws; the globe keeps its course by divine command; all things are marshaled in their appointed order. There is an analogy between the Word of God and the works of God, and specially in this, that they are both of them constant, fixed, and unchangeable. God’s Word which established the world is the same as that which he has embodied in the Scriptures; when we see the world keeping its place and all its laws abiding the same, we have herein assurance that the Lord will be faithful to his covenant, and will not allow the faith of his people to be put to shame.
