Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but your Word stands forever”, Psalm 18:30 says, “Your way is perfect and your Word proves true. And all who trust in you find refuge in you, find a shield around us from you because your Word is unfailing” and finally Romans 9:6 teaches us that, “The word of God never fails.”
From the dawn of creation to this very moment, God has been steadfast in His love and provision for His people. His promises, spoken through the ages, stand as monuments of His faithfulness. When He declares a thing, it is established, and nothing can thwart His plans (Psalm 33:10-11).
In times of trouble, we may be tempted to doubt, to question whether God hears our prayers or cares about our struggles. But let me assure you, my dear friends, that God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind (Numbers 23:19). What He has promised, He will fulfill.
Consider the story of Abraham and Sarah, who waited many years for the fulfillment of God’s promise of a son. Despite their doubts and shortcomings, God remained faithful to His word, and Isaac was born in due time. Or think of the Israelites, who wandered in the wilderness for forty years, yet God provided for their every need, never once failing them.
It behooves all believers to hold fast to the promises of God, knowing that He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). When the storms of life rage around us, when we are tempted to despair, let us remember that God cannot fail. He is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble (Pslam 46:1).
And let us not forget the greatest promise of all: the gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ. Despite our sinfulness and rebellion, God demonstrated His love for us by sending Jesus to die for our sins (Romans 5:8). And through His resurrection, we are given the assurance of eternal life with Him.
Undoubtedly, God’s Word never fails, those who trust in him and his Word. Now, in the short term… And by short term that could mean days or weeks or months. Or it could mean years or decades. But it’s still a short term in light of eternity. We may struggle to see how God is being true to his Word. Surely that was the case for centuries of slavery in the Old Testament. And we could go through many other instances.
My brothers and sisters, I could go on and on, so let us ask God for the strength to not waver through unbelief, but to be fully persuaded that He has the power and He will do what He has promised. And that in the end, our song will be, You didn’t fail me. Your Word did not fail me!! Glory to God, Halleljuah, and Amen!
