Unfailing (A Quickie)
Way too often, I am guilty of taking too lightly the attributes of God.
What I mean is, I “know” that God is everlasting, is merciful, is unfailing, is faithful, and so on. I “know” these things, but do I act like it?
I can’t go real deep here since I really need to get to bed in preparation for an early day tomorrow, but I want to share really quickly something that struck me this evening.
God is unfailing. This means he has not failed, will not fail, and CANNOT fail. Ever! In regards to anything!
I mean, how mind-blowing is that?!
If it is really true that God never fails, then that is incredible! That is life-changing.
The message here is so simple: God does not fail! That’s it.
I should stop being surprised when I see God doing something that I can’t do. I should learn by now that He can do things I can never begin to start to even consider thinking about.
This simple truth really blew me away when I took it literally, wondering, “What if God truly IS unfailing??”
Wow. The truth is so simple. It is always my mistake if I ever try to downplay God’s capabilities, such as thinking, “Well, sure, I know as a rule of thumb that God is in charge and all, but I’m afraid this situation is a bit complex.”
How outlandish, when you consider who I am and who He is! I just marvel at His patience with me as I slowly discover different things that are really so painfully obvious!!
So, to sum it up: God is unfailing, always. Get used to it, and live like it’s true!
