GOD IS GOOD AND FAITHFUL

GOD IS GOOD AND FAITHFUL: HE IS SURE AND TRUE TO ALL HIS PROMISES! 

“Let us HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION of our faith WITHOUT wavering; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23. 

In ALL life circumstances and situations, I say BE STILL, for God is good and faithful, true and sure in all His promises. For God is the REFUGE of His people and CONQUEROR of the Nations, therefore: 

• CELEBRATE HIM AS YOUR DEFENCE EVEN THOUGH THE EARTH MOVES. 

• CELEBRATE HIM AS YOUR DEFENCE EVEN THOUGH THE NATIONS RAGE. 

• CELEBRATE HIM AS YOUR DEFENCE EVEN WHEN HE BRINGS AND EXECUTES HIS JUDGMENT. 

“. . . 7 The Lord of hosts is WITH US; The God of Jacob is our REFUGE. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. 9 He makes wars CEASE to the end of the earth; He BREAKS the bow and CUTS the spear in two; He BURNS the chariot in the fire. 10 BE STILL, and know that I am God; I will be EXALTED among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! . . .” Psalms 46:1-11. 

BE STILL — for God CARES and God LOVES you and wants you to BE STILL — in the MIDST of the storms and raging seas of life’s challenges and changing times, and especially if you are undergoing any right now or may likely undergo in the cause and course of doing life and living godly, in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24. 

Psalm 46:1-11. 

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, A very PRESENT HELP in trouble. 

2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 

3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah 

4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. 

5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. 

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. 

7 The Lord of hosts is WITH US; The God of Jacob is our REFUGE. Selah  

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth.  

9 He makes wars CEASE to the end of the earth; He BREAKS the bow and CUTS the spear in two; He BURNS the chariot in the fire.  

10 BE STILL, and know that I am God; I will be EXALTED among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah”
