Honoring your commitments - Rainer S Salomaa - November 18, 1985

Rainer S Salomaa

Our God is a reliable God! Witness, for instance, God's reliable creation. The seasons come and go, right on schedule. We set our clocks by the movement of the stars. The tides are predictable. The sun sets and rises on time. So does the moon. Snow melts. Rain falls. Flowers blossom. Plants grow, die and bear seed. All of this is predictable. God's creation is reliable. And so is God. God honors His commitments. Whatever He says He will do, He fulfills. His word is binding, as "good as gold" - even more so! As Numbers 23:19 says, "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?" Many humans, on the other hand, don't keep their word. They renege on their promises. These people don't carry out their word if doing so would inconvenience them. They get hired, make a commitment to produce, but soon begin to goof off. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
