Why would a God who “sees” want to interact with His most precious creation if He didn’t intend to keep His promises? The wonderful thing about our God is that keeping His promises is never an intention, something God sometimes gets around to, and other times does not. God is not arbitrary based upon His time, availability, or even His desire. Instead, God’s Word is the foundation of His interactions with mankind. When it comes to God’s character, His honest Word is His foundation: “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19 God’s promise to David becomes the cornerstone of Jesus’ fulfillment of the line of David’s eternal kingship. The covenant promise to David of an eternal kingship through His line was based upon the character of the one true God who keeps His promises. Through the line of David, a King would come, a Messiah, who would usher in an eternal Kingdom. This Messiah would be our “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” He will reign on David’s throne and will uphold this Kingdom with justice and righteousness forever.
