God’s
faithfulness gives us confidence.
Scripture:“My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I
can sing your praises with all my heart!” Psalm
108:1
Faithfulness is defined as: “constant; true to
one’s word or promise”. This defines Our God! “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
My God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that
saves me, and my place of safety.” Psalm 18:2
A Firm Foundation
“Who
but our God is a solid rock?” (Psalm 18:31). God has not changed. In a world where everything
is rapidly and constantly changing, God is like a solid, unchanging rock that
we can stand on. God’s word is true and we can count on it because it is based
in His faithful character. “The
grass withers and the flowers fade but the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8) God does not make mistakes or
change his mind. He is not swayed by public opinion. God is a firm foundation.
An Unfailing Love
“If we
are unfaithful, He remains faithful, for he cannot deny who He is!” (2 Timothy 2:13) God’s love for us is unfailing
because of His faithful character. “Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the
heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.” (Psalm 36:5)
An Anchor in the Storm
Clouds
come and go, swept along by the wind. But the Bible says we must look beyond
the clouds and see how consistent the stars, sun and moon are. We know the sun
will rise in the east every morning and set in the west every evening. In the
same way we can count on God to be true to His promises. When the storm clouds
crowd in and doubts flood our minds, we must cling to the firm truth that God
is Faithful! It will be an anchor to hold us steady through the rough seas of
this life.
“So
God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable
because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for
refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through
the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.” (Hebrews 6:18-19).
Pray this week
That God
would open your eyes to be able to recognize how faithful He has been to you
