Psa 25:3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
Now listen. If I prayed to God and said that I need help but I know sometimes the shame is necessary would I be acknowledging that I live in God's kingdom? If God has created the earth do you think He will be distant in responding to its evils? How can God give man the authority over creation and the fail in governing. It would not only show that God's word is not dependable but He does not care for His prized creation. God's word and care are on display BECAUSE HE IS GOD and it's His creation!
Anytime the Psalmist speaks of God's responsibility in governing His world it is always in the absolute sense. We are not praying on the foundation that we are left by God to deal with a world that opposes God but we are pronouncing the terms of the creation covenant. We are reestablishing our authority on the earth in covenant with God!
If there were any one on the earth who's word is like gold it is not man's. We must understand that we live in time that is ruled by a Being outside of time. He is not controlled by anything that is uder the time constraints. Who could respect a God who was not able to do His work under the constraints of this world? If He is sovereign do you think He would give us His word under the constrains of time?Absolutely not! The axioms are eternal pronouncements from God who cannot be thwarted.
