How many things can you absolutely count on in life today? Can you absolutely count on having hot water in your morning shower? Can you absolutely count on your refrigeration not dying during the night? Can you absolutely count on your car starting every morning? Can you absolutely count on the red lights and green lights to be red and green at the right (safe) time?
Our world is filled with uncertainty! How “gloriously reassuring to know this absolute, unwavering truth: “…in which it is impossible for God to lie” (Hebrews 6:18). When God says something, it is absolutely impossible for God to be untruthful. When God promises something, it is absolutely impossible for God to deceive, falsify, misstate or even to break a promise.
“I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you” (Isaiah 41:10). It is impossible for Him to lie! “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). It is impossible for Him to lie! “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (Revelation 2:10). It is impossible for Him to lie!
