God is Infinite (eternal). God is Immutable (never changes). God is Self-Sufficient (has no needs). He is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent.
I can appreciate and be grateful for those things, but my finite brain cannot truly grasp those things of God. But there is one characteristic of My LORD that is more understandable. That is God’s faithfulness.
“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.“ [Deut 7:9]
“If we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.” [2 Timothy 2:13]
If the past is any indication, I can pretty much guarantee that the politicians who were elected last Tuesday will not be unchangingly faithful to us. (written before the election)
They will soon forget what they promised. Excuses will begin to fall from their lips. Blame will be assigned to others for their own faithlessness.
But our God is not like that. He is unchangingly, eternally, completely faithful. He never forgets or fails. Even when we are faithless before Him, that does not alter His faithfulness to us.
“Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee. Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not. As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.” Amen & Amen
