God’s Faithfulness ~ Our
Everlasting Hope!
LORD, You are my God; I
will exalt You and praise Your name, for in perfect faithfulness
During this season of
reflection and renewal, join me in exploring God’s Faithfulness. Do you find
strength for every circumstance in God’s Faithfulness? God IS Faithful! God’s
Faithfulness is our everlasting Hope! ~ Donna Oswalt
For Yahweh is good, His faithful love is
everlasting, His constancy from age to age. Psalm 100:4-5
The Jerusalem Bible
This
familiar Psalm proclaims thanksgiving to a Sovereign God whose goodness not
only creates each person but provides and protects like a good shepherd.
Praises and songs of gladness give honor to God. Faithful love never ends. Such goodness embodies both loyalty and
truth. The attributes of God noted in Psalm 100 remain true today, just as His
unchanging character is constant from age
to age.
The
LORD, Yahweh in Hebrew, is the one
True God. This alone would be reason to worship Him; yet, God’s steadfast,
enduring love embraces mercy and offers grace. While we struggle with
uncertainty and constant change, comfort seems far away. The Apologetics Study Bible suggests the
phrase “make a joyful noise” or “shout” is a
war cry, using the same Hebrew verb that describes the shouting of the Israelites when they captured Jericho. The
commentary says “this psalm takes the worshiper into the realm of spiritual
warfare.” Our greatest peace comes from the Source of Perfect Goodness. For Yahweh is good!
LORD, I believe You are the One True God, Creator and Redeemer of souls.
This dark world calls to me, tries to entice me away from You, but Your
goodness floods my soul. Great is Your faithfulness in every spiritual battle,
every moment of doubt. I come into Your presence with thanksgiving. – dho
Focus
Point: His unchanging character
is constant from age to age.
