The word of the LORD is upright

Psalm 33:4-5

For the word of the LORD is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.

God is faithful therefore He is trustworthy. Do you trust Him? No, I do not merely mean, “Do you believe Him?” I mean, do you TRUST Him? Do you trust Him with your very life?

I heard someone recently say that when our future is uncertain we should still have faith in God. Well, that is not exactly correct. You see, as a Christian, our future IS secure because it has been secured by Christ. He is a sovereign LORD whose every plan will com to pass (Isaiah 46:10). And when He sends forth his Word, He will accomplish everything He intends (Isaiah 55:11).

We are able to trust Him because his word is upright… trustworthy. EVERYTHING He does is in faithfulness! When He makes promises to us we can be confident that God will come through.

This is why worry is a sin. Worry is consumed with the details of the future. Since the future is unknown to us, we assume wrongly that we need to know exactly what the future holds in order to have peace. This is wrong. We have peace about the future because our confidence is in the God of the future.

“He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.” So, He is faithful and trustworthy, and He loves us.

If God is for us, then what do we have to worry about?
