The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in Numbers 30:2,
"When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said."
Obviously the need for this law is that many do not follow through on their word, what they may have promised.
I am reminded that this is one of the great distinctions between God and sinful man. God always follows through on what he says he will do, on all his promises. "God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. " Romans 11:29.
God never fails and is always faithful! Here is where we can be certain of our destination following this life, "He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:8-9.

God is faithful in all he says and all he does. Since he has promised us eternal life, we can be certain of it!
