You are God, Your word is true, and you have promised good

“And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:” 2 Samuel 7v28


Although these words of David’s apply to specific covenantal promises they clearly are principles from the New Testament that we can apply to our Christian lives today.

David says three things about God:

You are God
Your words are true
You have promised goodness

There is no doubt that God is God (Acts 4v24). As God He is in absolute control of everything there is. He made heaven and earth and sustains them. As God He has the power to do whatever He wants.

His words are true. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. Being inspired it can be trusted with total confidence.

He has promised that all things work together for good to them that love God and are the called according to His purpose.
Knowing that God is God, that His words are true, and that He intends all things for good to His children should give us great confidence is facing daily situations. David had this confidence, do we?
