November 23, when God swears by God.

Since he had no one greater by whom to swear,

he swore by himself saying, surely I will bless you

and multiply you. He brews 6, 13, and 14.

There is one person whose worth and honor and dignity and

preciousness and greatness and beauty and reputation is more

than all other values combined, 10,000 times more namely God himself.

So, when God takes an oath, he swears by himself.

If he could have gone higher, he would have gone higher.

Why? To give you strong encouragement in your hope.

What God is saying and swearing by himself is that it is as impossible,

that he will break his word of promise to bless us,

as it is that he will ever despise himself.

God is the greatest value in the universe.

There is nothing more valuable or wonderful than God,

so God swears by God. And in doing that, he says,

I mean for you to have as much confidence in me

as it is possible to have. For if more were possible,

he brews 6, 13 says he would have given us that.

Since he had no one greater by whom to swear,

he swore by himself. Now, this is our God.

The God who is reaching as high as he can reach
