Truths to Live By - One Day at a Time
“His compassions fail not, they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.”
God is faithful and true. He cannot lie or deceive. He cannot go back on His word. He is absolutely trustworthy. No promise of His can ever fail.
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”(HYPERLINK "javascript:" ). “Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God”. “Thy faithfulness is unto all generations”.
God’s faithfulness is seen in His calling us into the fellowship of His Son. It is seen in not allowing us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. It is seen in the way He establishes us and keeps us from evil ( 2 Thessalonians 3:3). Even if some do not believe, yet He remains faithful: He cannot deny Himself.
The Lord Jesus is truth incarnate. The Word of God is sanctifying truth. “Let God be true, but every man a liar”.
The knowledge that God is faithful and true floods our souls with confidence. We know that His Word cannot fail, that He will do as He has promised. We know, for instance, that we are eternally secure, because He said that no sheep of His will ever perish. We know that we will never want because He has promised to supply all our needs.
God wants His people to be faithful and true. He wants us to be true to our word. He wants us to be dependable in keeping appointments. We should not be given to lies, exaggeration or half-truths. We should be faithful in keeping our promises. Christians, above all people, should be faithful to their marriage vows. They should be faithful in discharging their commitments in the assembly, in business and in the home.
How we should praise and thank the Lord for His faithfulness. He is the God who cannot fail.
He cannot fail—for He is God
He cannot fail—He gave His Word.
He cannot fail—He’ll see you through.
He cannot fail—He’ll answer you.
