“Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.” (Ps. 31:5)
The Bible reveals to us that God is faithful. So much so, in fact, we could almost say that Faithful is God’s middle name. Forever faithful. This is truly something to rejoice over. He is, after all, God. The creator and sustainer of all things. The Almighty. “For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?” (Is. 14:27) “Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth.” (Ps. 135:6)
And yet, he pleases to be faithful. Merciful. He pleases to save his people from their sins, and to give them a heart to obey him. And eventually – to be like him. “But we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
