Learning about God in Psalm 119: God is faithful

 "All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me." - Psalm 119:86

"Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth." - Psalm 119:90

The psalmist is unafraid of the conspiracies and persecutions of his enemies because he knows that God is with him, and His faithfulness is everlasting.

Every child of God finds encouragement in this thought: God is faithful. Even if all forsake and betray, God remains faithful.

God's faithfulness is intertwined with His other attributes:

1. God is Almighty. Therefore, He is always able to fulfill His promises.

2. He is holy and righteous. Therefore, He always fulfills His promises.

3. He is immutable. He is the same forever. He cannot make a promise and then change His mind.

4. He is Omniscient. People may make promises without knowing what circumstances may prevent them from fulfilling them. But God knows everything, He knows the end before the beginning, ensuring He fulfills His promises.

5. He is merciful. He loves His people, so He will never leave them. He fulfills all His promises to His people.

We can feel peaceful and safe because our God is faithful.
