Worship for Today: Our God is faithful!

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing,
majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Deuteronomy 7:8-9,

"It was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your
forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed
you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God,
keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who
love him and keep his commands.

One of the qualities of God that is extolled in the book of Psalms is
God's faithfulness. He is faithful to all of his promises. "For the
word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does."
Psalm 33:4. Here in Deuteronomy and throughout all of Scripture this
theme of God's faithfulness stands out as one of his matchless
perfections. It is the very nature of God's faithfulness that makes
his promises so wonderful! Once uttered by him, they are as good as
done!

That is why our hope in the resurrection brings an inexpressible and
glorious joy! It is a certain hope, as good as done! Israel found that
the Lord was faithful throughout her history. We find the same as
well. Look at the promise Paul speaks of in his first letter to the
church in Corinth, "He will keep you strong to the end, so that you
will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has
called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is
faithful." 1 Corinthians 1:8-9. How exciting is that?! God will keep
his children, all of us who have embraced Jesus Christ in faith,
strong to the end! Paul says this is certain based on his
faithfulness.

The love of God takes on real energy in my life as I consider the true
and pristine faithfulness of our wonderful God! All he has promised me
is as certain as it is that I am sitting here pondering it!
