Faithful God

“I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.” Deuteronomy 32:3-4
Reflecting on God’s nature always brings me to praise Him, just for Who He is. Our God is awesome and glorious. He is completely fair, and completely good. There is no evil in Him, and no evil can exist in His presence. The mystery is indeed great – that He should love sinners such as us and send His own Son to become sin and die in our place, so that we can be with Him for all eternity. God is under no obligation to do this, but He does it because of His love for us.
God is the standard of holiness and perfection. Consider this: a straight line cannot be made any straighter. On our own, no matter how hard we try to draw a straight line, without a ruler it is impossible. Let God be the straight edge in your life, the definition of perfection. In tracing an image around an object, the closer your pencil is to the object, the more the image will represent the original. Keep close to God today, and the more you do so, the more your life will become an image of Him.
