The little sulk, William Adolphe Borguereau, 1888
'...if they violate my statutes
and do not keep my commandments,
then I will punish their transgression with the rod
and their iniquity with stripes,
but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
or be false to my faithfulness.'
and do not keep my commandments,
then I will punish their transgression with the rod
and their iniquity with stripes,
but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
or be false to my faithfulness.'
Psalm 89:31-33 (ESV)
I find these to be comforting verses. As followers of Christ, no matter what we do God will always be faithful to us. He is steady and unchanging, a rarity in our present, forever shifting world.
