#10. The FAITHFULNESS of God
By Arthur Pink et al.
(You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)
"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love." Deuteronomy 7:9
Faithfulness is not merely one of God's attributes--it is the very essence of who He is. He is infinitely and immutably trustworthy. From everlasting to everlasting . . .
His Word stands firm,
His promises are sure,
and His purposes never fail.
What God has said, He will surely do.
What He has decreed, none can overturn.
He is the covenant-keeping God who cannot lie, whose steadfast love endures forever.
Though the winds of providence may fiercely blow, and the path may lie shrouded in mystery--God’s faithfulness is the believer's rock. When we stumble, He sustains us. When we grow weary, He does not. When we are unfaithful, still He remains faithful--for He cannot deny Himself. He does not forget the cry of the humble, nor overlook the tears of the broken-hearted. He remembers every promise made to His people--and He fulfills them all, in His perfect time and way.
The whole of redemptive history bears witness to this glorious truth; not one word of His has ever fallen to the ground. Every prophecy is fulfilled, every elect sinner is effectually drawn, every saint is preserved, and every redeemed soul is brought safely home--all proclaim the unchanging fidelity of our God.
His mercy is everlasting.
His truth is unshakable.
His Word is forever settled in Heaven.
Therefore, let us not trust Him only in days of ease, but especially in the hour of darkness. Let our souls anchor in the depths of His unwavering commitment to save His people from their sins.
Trust Him in the storm--He is the anchor of your soul.
Though all else fails, He remains.
Let us . . .
rest in His immutable grace,
stand upon His unfailing promises,
and lift our hearts in worship to the God who is ever faithful, world without end.
"Your faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 119:90
