PROMISE #215 - AUGUST 3
Promise #215:
You can trust in My faithfulness because My Word is true.
Psalm 33:4 (WEB)
For the word of Yahweh is right.
All his work is done in faithfulness.
If I made a promise to my children and they questioned the integrity of what I promised, that would hurt me deeply. As a father, it is my hope that my children would have confidence in my character and my word. If they doubted what I said, then I would feel that they questioned the very core of who I am.
The foundation of any relationship is trust. If there is no trust, then the relationship is on shaky ground. In today's promise, the Psalmist sings praises to God and declares that the word of the LORD is right and that all his works are done in truth. The NLT Bible says Psalm 33:4 this way... For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does.
If we struggle to believe that God's word is true, then we are, in effect, doubting God's character. Whenever we question God's Word or His goodness, we agree with the father of lies and the continual accusations he brings against God. Just as this would hurt an earthly father, it profoundly grieves the Father of Lights.
The Bible says in Hebrews 11:6 that without faith, it is impossible to please God. I believe that our God and Father loves it when His kids simply believe every word He says, just like a little child believes everything their mom or dad has to say to them.
My prayer today is that the Holy Spirit would make us aware of the unbelieving thoughts that come into our mind, and we would break any power of agreement with them, for the Word of the LORD is right, and we can trust everything He does and says!
