The Bible is a veritable mine of information on the fact of God’s faithfulness. More than 4,000 years ago He said: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease” (Genesis 8:22<\/a>). Every year furnishes us with fresh evidence that He has not gone back on His Word. In\u00a0Genesis 15:13-14<\/a>God declared to Abraham: “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and ill-treated four hundred years. But \u0096 afterwards they will come out with great possessions.” Did that happen?\u00a0Exodus 12:41<\/a>\u00a0says: “At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt.” The prophet Isaiah predicted that a virgin should conceive and bear a son whose name would be Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14<\/a>). Centuries later the prediction came to pass. In\u00a0Galatians 4:4<\/a>\u00a0we read: “But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman \u0096.” I wish I had the space to take you through the pages of Scripture and show you how faithful God has been to His Word. But you have a Bible for yourself; study it. Read it to know God. It is absolutely imperative that we who live in an age when unfaithfulness abounds, should acquaint ourselves with the fact of God’s faithfulness. This is the basis of our confidence in Him. And this is why the Bible fairly bulges with this great and gripping truth. The more of God’s truth we pack into our souls, the better equipped we are for the road that lies ahead.<\/p>\n
Gracious and loving Father, the more I learn about Your nature and character the more I want to know. Just these glimpses I am getting set my soul on fire to know You more intimately. Take me deeper, dear Lord. (Hughes)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
