Question
of Character
Recently
the more I listened to a man speak at a gathering of campers, the more I became
confused. Not to the subject matter he was sharing, nor by his speech, but
rather to his character. It made me doubt him and not fully trust in what he
was saying was truthful.
“God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a
son of man,
that he should change his mind.
Does
he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?”
Numbers 23:19
NIV
Our
God cannot exist apart from His character. He is defined by absolute
consistency and with absolute goodness. He is our good and perfect gift and we
will always find unceasing hope and confidence in His character.
God’s
Word, like His character is completely trustworthy. The Bible is very unique
among all religious doctrines. In it we will find more than two thousand
prophecies that have already come true and fulfilled!
Our
challenge is in our everyday life to represent the character of God in our
conduct, speech and choices of life style. Do we leave someone confused about
our character and in doing so, question the character of God?
Today
let us trust our life and our world to God. Let us not leave others confused,
but rather leave them desiring more of the joy, hope and confidence we have in
God.
