God is Always Faithful
God is Faithful , Therefore We Can Trust Him
If you have read even a few of my posts, you know that one of my favorite passages in scripture is Lamentations 3:21-23.
Lamentations 3:21-23
But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Here are a few other passages about God’s faithfulness. In Numbers we’re told that God will do what He says He will do. We can trust Him.
Numbers 23:19
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
In Deuteronomy, we are reminded that God is faithful and keeps His promise and love with those who love Him.
Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
In 2 Timothy we learn that even if we are faithless, God will remain faithful. He is faithful and cannot deny himself.
2 Timothy 2:11-13
The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
if we are faithless, he remains faithful—
for he cannot deny himself.
My Faithfulness of God Table
After listening to my pastor’s sermon in December, I realized that I really struggle trusting God. I spoke to my pastor afterward and he suggested an activity that I’ve found not just helpful, but truly to be a blessing. He said I should make a table with two columns. In one column, I was to write the ways God has demonstrated His faithfulness to me. In the other column, I was to write ways in which God has been unfaithful. He suggested that I add to this table daily for three months so that looking for and at God’s faithfulness to me would become a habit.
God id Faithful: 1,881; God is Unfaithful: 0
Sunday, December 10, 2023, I began my “Faithfulness of God” table. After three months, my first column, God’s faithfulness, contains 1,881 items. The second column, God’s unfaithfulness, contains 0. Never ever has Good been unfaithful.
God is Continuously Faithful, Therefore We are Blessed
God is faithful not just in those 1,881 discreet and personal ways, but God is faithful continuously. I am (and all of us are) so very blessed. Even in our most difficult days, God is loving us and pouring his many blessings over us. He gives us the sure and certain hope of eternity with Him. He is our rock, our strength, our shelter, our hiding place. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is love. He is light. He is our peace. We rest in Him. God is faithful to us all. It is who He is.
God Is and Will Always Be Faithful
Faithfulness is part of who God is. He has always been and will always be faithful. He does not change, but He is the same today, yesterday, and forever. We can trust Him. I can trust Him
