“Just as the heavens cannot be measured and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored, so I will not consider casting them [Israel] away for the evil they have done. I, the LORD, have spoken!” (Jer. 31:37).
Every human has a breaking point. Under a certain amount of pressure you will crack, although the threshold varies from person to person. The interrogation of criminals is meant to “break” people so that they will confess or betray their colleagues. Sometimes it works - then people go back on their loyalties.
God didn’t and wouldn’t go back on His covenant to love and care for the people of Israel. No human being can measure the heavens, or fathom the depths of the seas, or tear the cloak of mystery from the universe. Since Jeremiah’s day, science has expanded the limits of human knowledge immensely, but there are still unexplained mysteries and undetermined borders, which God will reveal to us when we get to heaven.
Jesus is constant in His commitment to you, no matter how flawed your commitment to Him might be. He will not disappoint you or let you down. You can fully trust Him. He will be the same tomorrow as He was yesterday and He will stand by you today, whatever happens. No matter to what extent the mysteries of creation might elude human understanding, God’s constant faithfulness is no secret and this will never change. Can you say the same about your faithfulness to Him?
Faithful God, make me just as constantly faithful to You as You are to me. Amen.
