He is faithful in all He does

Verse of the Day for February 5, 2018 once again highlights who the everlasting God is and what He does, as so brilliantly displayed in Psalm 33:4-5 (NIV):

For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

“For the word of the Lord is right and true,” and we note a similar expression regarding the Word of God in Psalm 19:9 (AMP):

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether.

The Psalmist echoes the same in Psalm 119:142 in the Holman Christian Standard Bible:

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your instruction is true.

Verse 5 goes on to state “He is faithful in all He does.” Throughout the Scriptures we find references to the faithfulness of God Almighty:

Once again, David makes these powerful declarations:

Psalm 145:13 (Holman Christian Standard Bible):

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; Your rule is for all generations. The Lord is faithful in all His words and gracious in all His actions.

Psalm 146:5-6 (AMP):

How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel),
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them,
Who keeps truth and is faithful forever,

Beyond the beauty of the Psalms, the words of the New Testament also make known God’s faithfulness:

1 Corinthians 1:9 (AMP):

God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord

1 Thessalonians 5:24 (AMP) further attests to His faithfulness:

Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own].Faithful is He who calls you who will also do it.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) offers these words of encouragement:

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful

In addition to declaring the glorious attribute of God, the passage proclaims “The earth is full of his unfailing love.”

Exodus 15:13 (NIV) also makes known this truth:

In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

The Psalmist makes the following declarations:

Psalm 13:5(NIV):

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Psalm 32:10 (NIV):

Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him

Psalm 33:18 (NIV):

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

Psalm 33:22 (NIV):

May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.

At the heart of who God is and what He does is recognition that “God is faithful,” as this song by the Brooklyn Tabernacle so magnificently reminds us”: “He’s Been Faithful”:
