FAITH CAPSULE: God is constantly consistent in His ways and His ways will not change.

Psalm 37

Learning from men of God like King David can never be too much because so much is needed navigating through the journey of life. In David, one can learn that clinging to testimonies of God will not put a believer to shame. David testifies, “I have been young, and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lends; and his descendants are blessed.”(Psalm 37:25-26) King David, a man referred to as “one that is after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22)knew exactly what he was talking about. King David was not arousing any man’s emotion neither was he attempting to please man, but rather lived to lift the name of God. The truth behind King David’s statement is that indeed it was pleasing to God because it was a statement that demonstrates faith in the highest order. Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him…” King David was so sure of his God and he testified about his lifetime experience of not having seen a righteous one ever forsaken. Who is it or who are those that David referred to as never been forsaken? King David was referring to the righteous one. Who is righteous? 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Have you accepted Christ indeed and in truth? It is one thing to claim to have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior and not be living the Word of God. Also, it is another thing to claim to have received Christ and actually be living according to the Word of God. When a believer begins to live indeed and in truth, he becomes righteous in Christ Jesus. The righteous are the ones that King David referred to as the one that cannot be forsaken. God is constantly consistent in His ways and His ways have not changed from the times of the Bible through today. His ways will never change, but His ways will be making changes in every way to the glory of His Name. Where do you stand? Are you consistent with your confession? Are you true to the Word of God? God will not forsake any of His own. Jesus loves you and He will not give you what you do not need. Be encouraged and take to the word of Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said I will never leave you nor forsake you.”David experienced it and confessed it. If you will live according to the Word of God, your testimony will be like that of David. God is faithful!
