Psalm 111 God is Promise Keeper

In 1948 this verse was fulfilled: “He announced that he would do mighty deeds for his people, giving them a land that belonged to other nations.” [Ps 111:6] After thousands of years being subjected to other nations and rulers, God brought this verse to reality. “On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel.” Today we see a vibrant nation in the Middle East where the land has flourished just as God said it would. Why is it we don’t believe the Word of God when we read prophecies such as this and see its fulfillment? It is because of what Paul told the Corinthians: “The god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God.” [2 Cor 4:4]

Today stop and praise God for what He has done, and fulfilled to last jot or tittle so that men are without excuse. God is a promise keeper and we see it even if it takes years to happen.

Numbers 1 to 3 ‘God is a God of Order’ 1cor 14 33

The theme of Leviticus is holiness; the theme of Numbers is obedience. The study note in the NET Bible study tool says: “It provides a record of the experience of the Israelites during the wilderness wanderings, and records the laws for the camp as they traveled from place to place. The book focuses on the difficulties of the Israelites due to their lack of faith, rebellion, and apostasy. It also records God’s protection of his people from opposition from without. The book makes a fitting contribution to the collection of holy writings as it shows the spiritual and physical progression of the company of the redeemed toward the promised land.” And so we begin our journey with them today.

These first three chapters guide us to see the order that God required of the infant nation of Israel because they had just come from servitude in Egypt. Therefore, God instructed Moses to do such and such. The end of each chapter reads: They did all that God commanded Moses; that is what they did.

As Paul wrote to the Corinthians he told them: These things…were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.[ 1Co 10:11] And again he wrote: for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace [1Co 14:33]

The God who is not the author of confusion wants to be your God as well. He wants to guide you and bless you. Do you know Him?
