With a new month and the holidays on the horizon, I want to focus on one of the characteristics of God. God is FAITHFUL.
II Timothy 2:13
“[I]f we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.”
How amazing it is that even when we are not faithful, God is!
Lamentations 3:22-23
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
He remains steadfast and consistent in all His ways, in His Word, but especially to us. His faithfulness is even sung about in the great hymn,
“GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS”
When our world is filled with heartbreak and confusion, when our lives encounter a blocked wall, when our very being fights against us to be what we once knew - we can lean in on God. He is with us. He is among us. He is faithful to us. Our part is to extend to Him our need, offer up to Him our praise, seek from Him His wisdom. As we do, our faithful God will respond to us with His provision, His love, His impartation.
We, then - along with so many - will lift up our voice to declare:
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS!
I encourage you - especially during this season of thanksgiving - reflect on the faithfulness of God in the years of your life. Listen to the hymn which shares the same verbiage in its title. Enjoy the presence of our GREAT GOD as you offer thanks and praise to Him. In your remembrance of HIS GREAT FAITHFULNESS - I pray you are once again reminded of an assurance within that no matter where today finds you - you will know your God to be what He has been, is and forever will be …FAITHFUL.
May your soul cry out to our mighty God,
“Great is thy faithfulness…Lord unto me!”
Oh, friend, He is a faithful God …and how He loves you so.
Really enjoyed this!
