True or Fake V (Lake)

The Lord is faithful in all his words.

 - From Psalm 145

I'm trying to think of someone that I knew, that was faithful to all his (or her) words. And I can think of none. 

Some of the best guys I knew were in a little prayer circle of friends during the 1980s. We would get together at Church camp every summer and have an in-person meetup. But during the year we tried different ways of staying in touch. We covenanted with each other not to lose sight of the Lord, and to uphold what's right, when we were away from each other. 

We all failed in that. To a person. Not a single one of us was true to the commitments we made to each other. Yet they remain to this day, some of the best people I have ever known. 

Marital vows . . . don't get me started.

At the funeral of a dear loved one, especially if it is someone like a wonderful grandparent, you will find the grandkids getting together and enjoying each other. In the heightened sense of what is most important, they will promise things to each other that they never fulfill. 

The people on the earth, that are so obsessed with "fake news" can't even be counted on to keep a promise to each other. 

But God is faithful in all His words. And if He seems to be taking too long to do that . . . well then we can't even keep a marriage vow for sixty years. Who are we to talk? 

God speaks of the Highest things - - - of eternal things. We cannot fathom it. When we get to eternity we will see that, indeed, it was exactly as He said. It will be clear. 

Before we go declaring what is real and what is fake . . . let us get some understanding of the Eternal God, Who is the most Real Person of all.
