In reading Jeremiah this last week, and talking with other people from my class where we discuss the Old Testament, the idea of God's steadfastness and reliability came up.The Lord is perfectly reliable, perhaps we don’t fully understand or we forget about him in our daily lives, but when we are seeking him then we can trust that he will be there. So long as we remain focused on the Lord then he will be able to help us and fulfill all blessings he has promised.
In a world full of flawed humans who are forgetful and may not always be dependable, it is nice to know that there is someone who is perfectly reliable. We can always turn to the Lord when we need help in any way, whether for comfort, protection, or strength. That knowledge, in of itself, is comforting. Whatever is good for us and will help us grow in character is something that the Lord can be asked for and be relied upon. He is dependable, even if we do not see the actions of the Lord.
