Complete trust in God stems directly from His position as the creator and sole ruler of all existence. By recognizing that God formed the entirety of reality, a firm foundation of faith is established. The primary approach among commentators is that the Maker of all things naturally holds absolute control over His creation. He can do whatever He desires with the beings He formed, holding the unmatched power to lower, elevate, and save individuals in any place or circumstance [רד״ק, אבן עזרא, מצודת דוד, מלבי״ם]. In fact, the very concept of God bringing the world into existence is the fundamental root from which all other accepted beliefs grow [מאירי].
The vast scope of this creation encompasses every realm. The heavens include the angels, the massive heavenly hosts, and the higher servants. Below, the dry land and the sea are distinct domains [רד״ק], yet together they hold every living creature. The land is filled with humans, animals, and birds, while the sea contains massive aquatic creatures and every living thing that moves within its waters [רד״ק, אבן עזרא, ביאור שטיינזלץ].
Because God possesses this limitless creative power, He is uniquely capable of maintaining absolute truth and faithfulness forever, ensuring that His promises are executed without any interference. The primary approach among commentators is that this reflects God's eternal loyalty to His word. Since God Himself is eternal, the truth of His promises lasts forever. It never changes, and absolutely nothing can prevent it from coming to pass [רש״י, ביאור שטיינזלץ, מצודת דוד, מלבי״ם]. This unwavering loyalty means He will fulfill the good destinies prepared for those who love Him and follow His commandments [מאירי]. It also guarantees the promise to redeem Israel from a long exile, even when so much time has passed that the nations of the world have given up hope on their redemption [רד״ק].
Beyond fulfilling historical promises, this eternal faithfulness is also seen in the ongoing laws of nature and the spiritual future. One perspective connects it to the continuity of the natural world, where God ensures the eternal survival of all species on land and in the sea, while in the heavens, He preserves the eternal existence of the individual heavenly beings themselves [אבן עזרא]. Another approach focuses on the spiritual reward in the World to Come. In this view, God preserves the fruits of the good deeds performed by the righteous for eternity. Rather than allowing them to consume their reward in this temporary and passing physical world, He guards it to grant them complete and lasting spiritual happiness in the eternal world [אלשיך].
