Tag: We Can Trust God’s Word Because ... - Psalm 93-95

Psalms 93:5
Your decrees are very trustworthy;
holiness befits your house,
O Lord, forevermore.

Tag:  We Can Trust God’s Word Because ...

There really does not need to be a “because” in the tag line.   We can simply trust God’s Word.   Notice a complimentary Psalm:

Psalms 89:28
My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,
and my covenant will stand firm for him.

When God makes a covenant it ill “stand firm for Him.”

That same Psalm goes on to say:

Psalms 89:37
Like the moon it shall be established forever,
a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

God is a God of His Word.   Note what Paul says:

2 Timothy 2:11-13
The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
if we are faithless, he remains faithful—
for he cannot deny himself.

God remains faithful to His Word, even if we can’t or even if our faith is small. 

The text we started with, at the top, goes on to say, “holiness befits your house.”    This is probably the “because of the verse/Psalm.”   God is holy.  Holiness stipulates that there can be NO corruption.  Mankind cannot keep his word because in his nature he is a liar.  He deceives and is deceived.   God by nature is holy so He can’t do wrong.  If he says something it is true.  This is why He should get our complete love and loyalty.  Because He is trustworthy and holy.  


The third thing the passage says is that God is eternal. He is “forevermore.”  That means God has always been trustworthy and holy.  He is “forevermore.”  This is no flash in the pan God we are trusting in for our salvation and day-to-day wisdom and sustenance.  God is an eternal God.  Before the heavens and forevermore.   What is left to fear when we have a God who is trustworthy, holy and eternal.
