But we have this special assurance we can put in our heart. If we honor and worship the same God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob...God gives us the same blessed assurance as that is given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is God who said "I am the Lord". When He said I am the Lord, God contains God's character in who God is.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is omnipotent God. God has sufficient power, resources, know-how skill, to accomplish what He has promised. What happen to us does not change the fact about God. Let Him work in whatever situation we have, even when it seems to contradict God's promise...when we see it from the physical realm.
We may not understand yet, but we can trust the second character that follows. He is faithful and He remains to be faithful. When God promised something, God is able to do what God has promised by power that God has, by resources that God has, by know-how skill that God has...but the most important is that God is faithful to His promise.
Words of comfort come from:
Exodus 6:8
Amplified Bible (AMP)
8 And I will bring you into the land concerning which I lifted up My hand and swore that I would give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage. I am the Lord [you have the pledge of My changeless omnipotence and faithfulness].
Words of comfort come from:
Numbers 23:19
Amplified Bible (AMP)
19 God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?
Words of comfort come from:
Jeremiah 1:12
The Message (MSG)
12 ...for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
We are with You, Lord God...walk with You and do things in Your name, to receive what You have promised...your inheritance for Your people. Let's sing and confess God's faithfulness with Gateway worship song.
If I call will You come
When I cry do you hear
I believe every tear
Is caught up by a faithful God
So I will cry until You come
Cast my cares into Your arms
I can't see past this storm
But I'm counting on a faithful God
Faithful God, You hold my life secure
All my days are Yours
I believe My God is like a fire defending me
I believe You still heal
And demons still bow
I'm convinced there is power
In trusting in a faithful God
So I will praise till You appear
And set Your foot upon this shore
I declare that every foe
Is subject to a faithful God
Faithful God, You hold my life secure
All my days are Yours
I believe My God is like a fire defending me
And I know that You are mine
And I am Yours, I am Yours
I know Your faithfulness
It will endure, it will endure
