In the last post, we talked about how God had an original intention for man and never changed it — but He did have to persist.
When we think about that, we should be encouraged by His faithfulness and the strength of His resolve. Because YHWH is not only persistent in His plan of redemption — He is persistent in His sovereignty, His graciousness, His mercy, the slowness of His anger, and the abundance of His love.
He doesn’t just persist in what He does;
He persists in who He is.
When He revealed Himself to Moses, He said,
“YHWH, YHWH God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and truth.”
That wasn’t simply a description — it was a declaration of His nature.
Even when humanity strayed, His mercy remained.
Even when judgment came, love endured.
Even when His people turned away, He turned toward them again.
This is the consistency that holds the universe together.
The persistence that brings light through darkness, order through chaos, and life through death.
And this same God is still persistent today — not only in fulfilling His purpose for creation, but in completing the work He began in each of us.
So when you grow weary or uncertain, remember:
you are being held by a God who never stops being Himself.
He is patient. He is merciful. He is steadfast.
He is persistent — in His plan, in His promise, and in His love for you.
