Why We Can Trust God Read | {Hebrews 10:19-23} In our troubled world, injustice, crime, and dishonesty fill the news. The one constant seems to be change. By contrast, we have a God whose actions are perfect, whose character is flawless, and who is faithful to keep every promise He’s made. He is “the same yesterday and today and forever” {Heb. 13:8}. We can have complete confidence in Him because He is . . . • Omniscient. Our Father knows what is happening with every person at every moment {Luke 12:2-3}. His knowledge is complete—no circumstance is hidden from Him; there is no motive or thought process that He does not discern. • Omnipotent. God has total power over all things; nothing is outside His control. He uses His might to bring about His perfect will. No authority in heaven or on earth can thwart His purposes {Job 42:2; Matt. 19:26}. • Omnipresent. No person or place is outside of God’s presence {Ps. 139:7-12}. All space and time is within His sight, and He never overlooks anything or anyone. • Truthful. God cannot lie—He always speaks truth. We can fully trust His Word and His responses to our prayers. • Loving. We can also have confidence in the Lord’s intentions, because His character is pure love {Rom. 8:28; 1 John 4:8}. God’s nature is not affected by time, place, people, or circumstances. He never makes a mistake in what He says or does, because His knowledge is perfect, His sovereignty is complete, and all is within His sight. Every promise is guaranteed in Jesus Christ {2 Cor. 1:20}. For all our days, He’s the One we can count on. Hallelujah!
