Forever Faithful God

Bible in a Year: Psalms 84-86, Romans 12

The word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
Psalm 33:4

Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 33:1-11

When Xavier was an elementary student, I drove him to and from school. One day, things didn't go according to plan. I was late to pick him up. I parked the car, praying frantically as I ran toward his classroom. I found him hugging his backpack as he sat on a bench next to a teacher. "I'm so sorry, Mijo. Are you okay?" He sighed. "I'm fine, but I'm mad at you for being late." How could I blame him? I was mad at myself too. I loved my son, but I knew there would be many times when I'd disappoint him. I also knew he might feel disappointed with God one day. So I worked hard to teach him that God never has and never will break a promise.

Psalm 33 encourages us to celebrate God's faithfulness with joyful praises (vv. 1-3) because "the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does" (v. 4). Using the world God created as tangible proof of His power and dependability (vv. 5-7), the psalmist calls on the "people of the world" to worship God (v. 8).

When plans fail or people let us down, we can be tempted to be disappointed in God. However, we can rely on God's trustworthiness because His plans "stand firm forever" (v. 11). We can praise God, even when things go wrong because our loving Creator sustains everything and everyone. God is forever faithful.

By: Xochitl Dixon

Reflect & Pray
Why is it hard to praise God when your plans fail or people disappoint you? How has He used the world He created to prove His enduring trustworthiness?

Dear God, please remind me of Your past faithfulness as I walk by faith today.

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More

REWARD FOR LABOUR

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain.

HOW PROPHETIC ARE YOUR NAMES?

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
