You Can Rely on God's Integrity

FRESH Official Podcast

What do you do when you find yourself in a tough spot feeling completely alone? Come on! What do you do? Do you just suffer your way through it alone? Or do you reach out to God?

That feeling of loneliness when you’re down in a deep dark hole is way more common than you’d think. R.C. Sproul was a prominent 20th century theologian, pastor and broadcaster. So you’d imagine that he’d have had a direct line to God 24/7.

Listen to one of his old broadcasts or read one of his many books and he sounds so knowledgeable, so authoritative. Surely he wouldn’t have had the same problem as you or me? Hmm.

This is what he said back in the day: “I don’t always feel God’s presence. But His promises don’t depend on my feelings; they rest on His integrity.”

There are going to be times when our feelings fail us; when they tell us that God isn’t in this place with us.

Psalm 89:1,2,14 I will sing forever about the LORD’s love. I will sing about his faithfulness forever and ever! I will say, “Your faithful love will last forever. Your loyalty is like the sky—there is no end to it!” … Your kingdom is built on truth and justice. Love and faithfulness are servants before your throne.

God is love. He’s eternally faithful. His loyalty never ends. He’s the God of truth and justice. That’s why you can depend on Him even when your feelings fail you. That’s why you can know, beyond any shadow of doubt, that He is here in this place with you. That’s why you can sing of His love and faithfulness forever.

Because that’s His Word. Fresh … for you … today.
