December 18
The God we serve is faithful. He is the God of integrity and honor. He is the God of truth and justice. His Word is yea and amen. There is no variance in His decrees. What He said long ago is viable today. The commands that He gave to Moses when he led the Israelites out of bondage, He expects us to follow today.
God does not change His mind. He does not have a ‘light bulb moment’ when He comes up with a better idea. He doesn’t reconsider His law and say to Himself, ‘Gee, I wish I had stated that another way.’ No. His way is perfect. It has always been perfect; Jesus is the Living Word and He is perfect.
The psalmist said of Him in Psalm 25:10, “All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth to those who keep His covenants and decrees.” If there is any time that the veracity of the Lord’s honor, the essence of His being is not visible to us, it is because we have somehow reneged on our part of the covenant. We deceive ourselves if we think we have not failed to uphold His holy decrees
If we are honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that we have failed to keep His covenants. We have gone back on our portion of the agreement between ourselves and our Holy God. But we also know that Jesus has washed us clean of all our sin and failure. We can be restored to right fellowship through our Lord and Savior; and we can enjoy the fruit of His steadfast faithfulness.
