| “Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds,” “all Thy commandments are faithful,” and “God is true” and worthy of all our confidence and trust. “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?” “There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” But suppose that we who know Him do not take His “way to escape,” and we yield to the temptation? Even “if we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself.” And “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This “God, that cannot lie, promised.” “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.” “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.” |
