God is consistently good and right
The Lord our God has been right in every move he’s made... ~ Daniel 9:14 (CEB)
Every good gift, every perfect gift, comes from above. These gifts come down from the Father, the creator of the heavenly lights, in whose character there is no change at all. ~ James 1:17 (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
God is consistently good and right.
PRAYER:
Lord God, I am thankful that you are so reliable. I don't have to worry that you might let me down. Yet, I still struggle to step out in faith and to trust you to take care of some of the concerns in my life. Please help me move what I know about you in my head all the way into my heart. I am going to trust you for who you are. Amen.
