Reverence and Awe

As we look in Scripture, we are reminded over and over again that God is faithful to His promises. Spurgeon emphasizes this morning the phrase, "This is a faithful saying." As we read God's Word today, may we be encouraged that everything we read is "worthy of all acceptation." God's promises can be trusted. Paul emphasizes this in four different verses, which ought to encourage us in our salvation, our passion for godliness, as we suffer through trails, and as we serve Christ and others. I want to encourage you today, however, to assume that everything we read in Scripture is prefaced with, "This is a faithful saying," for we serve a faithful God who has preserved His word for us today!
