what is trustworthy

"Circumstances often lie to us, and we cannot trust our feelings."
- C. J. Mahaney

It sounds like nothing profound, but it has resounded its clear note of truth in my mind again and again - a clear and forceful exhortation to believe nothing but the One whose word is truth, regardless of circumstances or feelings.

That word says,
"I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them." - Jer 32:4

and
"for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." - Rom 8:28

This word never lies.
