Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” [NKJV]
This verse is a fundamental truth of the Bible. If this happened to be the only verse that we had concerning God it would be more than enough for you and I to prosper and succeed in every arena of life. It encapsulates the character and nature of our creator.
Our God is stable in everything. He does not lie. He never does anything that needs Him to repent. He does exactly what He says He will do and if He makes a promise, He keeps it. This is such a contrast from how mankind has turned out. Now days it proves very difficult to know who is telling the truth and who is not, who will do what they say and who will fulfill their promises? Life at times can be a minefield to navigate because of how dubious humanity can be.
God is a Rock, a firm foundation for us to build our lives upon. Man can lie and repent but not our God. If God says something He will always do it. When He speaks something He will always make it good. Our strength and trust in God comes from this verse. We must not look to man for answers but ALWAYS set our gaze, heart and desire on God – He will never fail us.
This week take the promises that God has spoken personally to you. Write them on a piece of paper if you like. Then speak and proclaim Numbers 23:19 over them declaring Gods character and nature over them in Jesus name.
