“The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds” (Psalm 145:13b).
God is faithful in all his words and promises.
- If God said it, you can bank on it! There is nothing that God promises that will not come to fruition.
- With human beings we have to prove our faithfulness because there are too many times where our words are in discord with our deeds. But with God this isn’t the case. Remember how God created the heavens and the earth in Genesis? God spoke it, and it was so. That’s how it works with God. There is never a time when what God speaks is inconsistent with what God does.
God is gracious in all his deeds and all he does.
- Because God is good, kind, loving, omnipotent, and omniscient, everything God does comes from the position of grace and love.
- This means that everything God does is loving, king, and good.
What an awesome God! And the best part is we get to call him Father.
Take heart, Christian. Remember who your God is. Remember your Father.
Finally, God calls each and everyone of us to follow in his footsteps. Can you imagine what America would look like today if Christians were faithful in all our words and gracious in all our deeds? That is our calling. That is our charge.
