God is not a man, that he should lie ...

Daily Light Devotions - August 20 - Morning

God is not a man, that he should lie ...

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? 1 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. 2 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 3 

He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 4 

So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. 5 

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, 6 

All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. 7 

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; 8
