GOD IS NOT MAN
Isaiah 55:10- 11; Titus 1:2

Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" The opening text tells us that God is not a man, that He should lie. Honest men may make honest promises in all honesty, but may be limited in resources to make their words good. That speaks volume about how limited and hands-tied man could be. Some men are willing to help people but not able, while others are able but not willing; but with God there is both willingness and ability at all times. Little wonder the Word says in Isaiah 2:22 "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" Anyone who puts his trust in man is done for. God is faithful, able, willing and dependable; He can't let you down. You can trust Him. God is not man. He is not limited by the limitations and boundaries of man. He is not subject to the things man is subject to. He is sovereign and almighty. The Word tells us in Isaiah 26:3-4 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength". Beloved, you'll be preserved in perfect peace (wholeness, safety, prosperity, salvation, calmness) when you stay your mind on God because in Him is everlasting. The Spirit of God speaking of God in Psalms 89:34 says, "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips". God can't go back on His Word because there is no lack of ability or resources with Him; with Him all things are possible. Beloved, you can trust Him with you and yours, and He'll take care of you. You can build your entire life and future on His unchanging and unchangeable Word because God is not man.
