"Great is Thy faithfulness" — the hymn Tozer loved and the truth he explores here: that God's faithfulness is not occasional or conditional but as constant and reliable as the morning.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Tozer defines God's faithfulness as the quality by which He always acts consistently with His own nature and always fulfills His commitments. How does this make His faithfulness not merely a promise He keeps but an expression of who He is?
2.He argues that God's faithfulness flows from and is grounded in His immutability — because God does not change, He cannot be unfaithful. How do these two attributes reinforce each other?
3.Lamentations 3 is written in the middle of the worst catastrophe in Israel's history — the destruction of Jerusalem. Yet right in the center of that anguish, the writer pauses to say "His mercies are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." How is it possible to confess God's faithfulness in the middle of apparent abandonment?
