You Are a Faithful God

Psalm 33:4-5 (NIV)

For the word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His unfailing love.

As I contemplate the theme of our recent studies, I am captured by the confirmation of our Verse of the Day regarding the faithfulness of God and His Word. Our verses have been prophetic – encouraging us to rely on God … His strength … His wisdom … His power to affect every situation and circumstance in our lives.  And now this verse reminds us and affirms for us: God is trustworthy … He is faithful … His love is unfailing! I just love how King David captured these truths that we are urged to ponder and meditate upon.

I have reprinted the complete Psalm 33 for your convenience. There is no need for further comment.  Just let it fill you with hope and bless your inner being today.

Psalm 33 (NIV)

¹ Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
² Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to Him on the ten-stringed lyre.
³ Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.

⁴ For the Word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does.
⁵ The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His unfailing love.

⁶ By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth.
⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea as into a heap; He puts the deep into storehouses.
⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere Him.
⁹ For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

¹⁰ The Lord foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
¹¹ But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.
¹³ From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;

¹⁴ From His dwelling place He watches all who live on earth—
¹⁵ He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

¹⁶ No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
¹⁷ A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
¹⁸ But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love,
¹⁹ To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
²¹ In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.
²² May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.

So Now You Know…

Have a Blessed Day!

Answer me quickly, Lord; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you. ~ Psalm 143:7-9
