EXPOSITION:

God’s faithfulness is true and has been tested many times in the Bible. His unchanging nature to His people is a warranty and a security during danger. When storms rage and troubles roll, the faithfulness of God or the unchanging nature of God gives an answer to the situation.

The prophet Micah in Micah 7:7 says that, “But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Saviour; my God will hear me.” In Joshua 23:14, the Bible is saying that all the good promises of God have never failed. Every promise of God shall be fulfilled. This shows that it is only through the faithfulness of God that we can have our refuge.

Because God is unchanging, relying on Him is of great assurance and hope that he will not fail us. You may be desperately looking for a place to take refuge in. The only place that one can have his or her peace is to seek refuge in the faithful God.

Deuteronomy 7:9 confirms that the Lord is a faithful God and He keep His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love and keep His commandment. This confirms to the fact that, taking refuge in Him is of great benefit because He cannot change. He changes situation but does not change. Someone has said, “God is the unchangeable changer.”

LIFE APPLICATION

If you lean in the arms of men, it will fail you. Trusting in God’s faithfulness is a great ever abiding refuge for the righteous one. Money, fame, and prestige will all disappoint, but having faith in God’s faithfulness will forever give you His protection which is forever assured.
