1. The Lord’s compassion is unfailing: “his compassion fail not” (Lamentations 3:22). Of the Savior it is
said: “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them” (Matthew 9:36); “I have
compassion on the multitude, because they… have nothing to eat” (Mark 8:2).
2. The Lord’s promises are unfailing: “there has not failed one word of all his good promise” (1 King 8:56)
“he is faithful that promised” (Hebrews 1:23).
When Joshua stood beneath life’s setting sun, he said to the children of Israel: “This day I am going
the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and all your souls, that not one thing hath failed
of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and
not one hath failed thereof” (Joshua 23:14).
3. The Lord’s faithfulness is unfailing: “great is thy faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:23); God is faithful”
(I Corinthians 10:13); Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it” (Thessalonians 5:24)
When we falter and fail, the Lord continues to be faithful: “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny himself” (li Timothy 2:13). “If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments.
my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail” (Psalm 89:31, 33).
