“God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn't change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it.” Numbers 23:19
Hello peeps! So this scripture has been on my heart for the past few days. This scripture is so simple but says VOLUMES. This scripture eases doubt, reaffirms our faith, helps build our trust, shows God’s faithfulness, and show us another fantastic characteristic of our Father!
I say this often in my prayers, that I am so thankful that God is NOT like me. Why? Because I am very finicky in my attitude and unconditional love towards people sometimes. Of course, I’m a work in progress, but let’s not use that excuse this time. The reason I am like that is because I am human. But I’m SO SO glad that God doesn’t treat people the way I would if I was God. There would be quite a lot of people dead and in hell by now if it were up to me! “Oh so you wanna talk about me?! –Zap! Vanished off the face of the earth….and this would continue indefinitely lol. So yes, glad God isn’t like me.
I’m also super thankful for the promise of sticking to His word that God has given me! God reminds us over and over and over and over again throughout His word that He will fulfill what he says. Quote Him on that, make a bet, whatever, He’s going to stand to His word! How great is that to have that assurance over your life! And at times it’s SO easy to doubt promises that God made to you, so we really have to build our faith up with verses such as this. He will ALWAYS keep His promises to us! So to share a promise God made to me before, He told me that He would place me in positions where I didn’t really have the qualifications to be, but He would put me there. Two examples that have been manifest are:
1. My coaching Junior Varsity basketball at Reidsville High School, which is known for having great and sports teams. I had no previous coaching ability and no college level playing experience, but God allowed me to be the coach because that was one of my heart’s desire.
2. In February, I was named “Reidsville High School’s Educator of the Month”. This is monumental because there has been NO one in my entire student services office that has been nominated for this award at least within the last known five years. But God saw fit to elevate me and be recognized!
Again, “God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn't change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it.” Numbers 23:19.
Think back to your old relationships or friendships, were you once in love or did you really love and respect someone….and now you don’t? I know I’ve had several boyfriends and several friends in the past were our relationship now does not compare and the love I have for them is nowhere near where it used to be. BUT GOD is NOTHING like that! His love never changes for us! It always stays the same! I don’t know about you but I’m extremely hype to be a part of this chosen generation! God is amazing and always surpasses my expectations! God is great!!!
Prayer: God, I promise, you are the best! My heart is swelling with joy and overflowing with praise for your loving-kindness toward me! I just can’t even type the joy I am feeling now and the amount of thanks I have for your Word and the promises you have made toward me! Keep revealing your Word to me and helping me with my faith, especially the times when more doubt is flowing from my brain than trust! I love you so much! In Jesus name! Amen!
