One of the most important things we look for in quality relationships is truthfulness and integrity. Without that, there can be no trust. The courts are full of lawsuits alleging that people were lied to or betrayed. Unfortunately, this is part of the human condition. We fail each other because of so many variables. However, God is not man that He should lie. When He promises something, He honors His words. His integrity and nature are like a shield to all those who take refuge in Him. Think about it: most of our national issues come from broken promises, betrayal, gossip, slander and outright lies. But when we consider God’s promises, they are pure and consistent. Even though friends, family members, co-workers might change and fail you, God never changes! He remains faithful and true, and we can always trust Him. He is our shield in times of trouble!
Proverbs 30:5 (ESV) “Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him”
Amen.
Yes, Amen
