KEY SCRIPTURE: Deut 7:9 KJV “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; “
Unfaithfulness is one of the most outstanding sins of these evil days. In the business world, a man’s word does not carry any weight, since it is dishonoured with ease. In the social world, marital infidelity abounds on every hand, the sacred bonds of marriage are broken with little regard as discarding an old garment. Men tend to become so unfaithful even to their vows to do certain things for themselves, to the point that, they do not believe their own words. Despite the extreme unfaithfulness amongst most men, how refreshing to learn and to know about the faithfulness of the Lord at all times and under all conditions.
Our key scripture reads, know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God. This quality is essential to His being, without it He would not be God. For God to be unfaithful, is for Him to act against His nature, which is impossible.2 Timothy 2:13 assures us that God remains faithful and can’t deny himself. 2Ti 2:13 KJV” If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” Faithfulness is one of the glorious perfections of His being. Psalms 89:8 KJV” O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?” When God should take on flesh, the following was said about Him. Isaiah 11:5 KJV “And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.”
Everything about God is vast and incomparable. God never forgets, never fails, never falters, never forfeits His word. For every declaration, promise, and prophecy, the Lord has stood firmly by every engagement, of covenant, He would make good, for ” God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? “This should make you exclaim,” It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23.
CONFESSIONS
My God is the faithful God. He cannot deny Himself, for He can’t lie, since He does not change. Every promise He makes remains, yes, and Amen in Christ Jesus. I am ever at rest in Him despite what I see or feel. What He has said will prevail.
THOUGHT: GOD’S FAITHFULNESS GURANTEES OUR VICTORY ALWAYS.
