THE WORD OF GOD IS RIGHT
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10
Psalm 119:74-75

Deuteronomy 32:1-6

 

“…all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without

iniquity, just and right is he.”

 

THE WORD OF GOD IS RIGHT
 
The LORD God of the Bible is righteous. Hence, everything He does is right. Every word He inspires to be written is right. Every event that happens in our lives is always right. Whatever is done according to His Word is always right. The psalmist recognises this and every born-again believer must realise this. If indeed God is right, then whatever goes against His ways must be wrong. Our God is right and true, always.
 
I have hoped in Thy Word: The psalmist has patiently waited for the Word of God. He sees nothing to help him except what God has promised, which is always right. This is illustrated by how others who have hope in God are glad to see him. They rejoice with him because they are one in their trust in God’s Word. They are discerning and do only what God says. They fear the Lord’s wrath which He will have towards the children of disobedience.
 
I know Thy Word: He has hope in God’s Word because he knows it well. He perceives it as always right. Knowledge of the perfection of God’s Word must lead the believer to keep on trusting it. God’s judicial pronouncements are just so that he is thankful for all situations in life. He is aware that although it may appear as afflictions or depressions in life, all things will work together for what is right in the eyes of the Lord. Since what is right in God is best, why should he desire other things? His afflictions are faithfulness, for He is a friend who inflicts only with tender loving compassion.
 
We cannot doubt our righteous Lord. His ways are trustworthy and everyone who believes in Him must look up to Him in hope and faith that when He does things, it will always be right. What less burden we have if we have hope in Him whom we know well as our God, who always does that which is right. He cannot make mistakes.
 
Dear reader, wait upon the Lord who does things perfectly. Let us trust in the Lord with all our hearts, always knowing that He does only what is right.
 
THOUGHT: Do I patiently wait upon the Lord?

PRAYER: Father, let me hope in Thee.
