God is God and His words are true

"And now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant. Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord GOD, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever." – 2 Samuel 7.28-29

It just a few words here David nails some key things that we need to know about God if we are going to blessed in our service for Him.

We must know that God is God.
We must know that His words are true.
We must know of His promises to us.

First of all we must know that God is God. That sounds pretty simple but we need to be sure that out of all the things in the world that can be our gods only the Lord God is our God. God is importable, invisible, God only wise. He is the unchangeable God. He is all mighty, all powerful, and all present. He is light and love and righteousness. This is our God and if we don’t have confidence in Him for who He is we cannot be blessed in our service. God is God.

He words are true. God says it and that settles it. All scripture is breathed out by the Holy Spirit and so they can be trusted. His words are the source of our hope and confidence and assurance. They never change so are as true today as when David wrote them.

God is God. His word is true. And His words are full of great and precious promises just waiting for our discovery. Because God is God He always keeps His promises because He cannot lie.

God is God, His words are true, and He has promised goodness to His people. What a great promise with which to start this new week.
