“Thy testimonies that Thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.” It is impossible for God ever to lead us astray, for Him ever to ask us to do any wrong.
In the halls of the American Congress one finds two kinds of people, the legislators and the lobbyists. The politician is there to make the laws. The pressure groups are there to influence those laws, to see that the only laws passed are the ones their particular group wants. The gun lobby wants no laws that will interfere with the right of people to own weapons. The pro-abortionist wants no laws that will restrict a woman’s right to end unwanted pregnancies. The sexual deviant wants laws that will protect his lifestyle. Thus it is with our laws. All too often, instead of being righteous and faithful, they simply reflect the interest of whichever side can bring the most pressure to bear on politicians.
God’s laws are not like that. He is not swayed by public opinion. He is not running for office, nor is He running this planet along democratic lines. His laws are not influenced by polls or pressure groups. God’s laws are righteous and faithful. They are impartial, imperial, and impeccable. They are magnificent in scope and substance.
In His law, God has spoken to moral issues, political issues, and social issues. He has spoken His mind about sex, sanitation, and stealing. He has spoken about diet and dress, family and financial matters, warfare and welfare. There is no one nor topic in God’s Word left to our imagination. Every Word of God is righteous and very faithful.
