Good as Your Word

Week 5: The Word of God

You are only as good as your word.
Psalm 22: 1

This is why God is good. You can count on his word. Whatever God initiates through his word will be accomplished. This is why David says, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name” (Psalm 138: 2). God keeps his word.

We grew up in an era where your word was your bond. Your conversation was collateral. Your promise was payment. You were good for it even if circumstances weren’t. Daddy and so many others of his generation allowed for that kind of business because of their integrity.

How does business have to be conducted with you and me? How good is our word? Has our word been stretched thin because of how much we have asked it to cover? How does our house need to come in order to make our word good?
