Honesty and morality used to be the fabric from which the American society was made. In former years, a man's word was almost as good as a written contract. Both were binding in any court of law. However, as our society has deteriorated, the word of man is no longer a valid binding thing. Many no longer consider honesty and truth viable commodities.

In the Lord Jehovah's economy, truth is the mainstay. Without the truth of God, the universe as we know it, would come apart. It is Adonai's stability and faithfulness to His word that keeps you, whether you acknowledge that fact or not. He is the One who keeps things firm, permanent, and quiet; without God's interaction with you and the world, chaos would reign. You can put your trust in the Truth, for it is steadfast and sure. It will last throughout eternity, as will you if you believe in Yeshua, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

One aspect of Adonai, the Almighty's Truth is that He is full of kindness and goodness. These are great and strong characteristics of El-Shaddai, the One True God. It is His mercy and favor in your life that prevails against those who desire to reprove and shame you. His goodness and mercy will make you stronger than your enemies and valiant in battle. His love and adoration for you urges Him to bless and benefit you abundantly. There is little greater than the goodness of God.

This is why He is worthy of praise. Therefore, celebrate and boast of Jehovah, who loves you exceedingly. Make a public show, rave and act foolish in your thanks and praises. Then you will shine with the glory of God and He will give you light!
