The Faithfulness of God
~ You and I can have faith, because God is faithful.
God’s Word promises us that God is perfectly faithful, steadfast, and true.
Numbers 23:19 describes a foundational aspect of God’s character, His faithfulness. Scripture says, “God is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not change His mind. Has He ever spoken and failed to act? Has He ever promised and not carried it through?” As believers, we need a revelation of God’s faithfulness. Being able to fully trust God is the beginning of living an abundant life. If you don’t fully believe that God is faithful to lead you into the best possible life you could live, then you won’t seek out His will, trust Him with your possessions, or be able to fully enjoy His presence.
Philippians 1:6 says, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” Romans 8:28 promises, “We know that God works together in all things for the ultimate good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.” Your God is wholly faithful to you. No matter what you do, He will be there for you. His faithfulness isn’t dependent upon your works. All He requires is a willing heart to bring about the incredible fruit of the Spirit in your life.
You aren’t meant to live life apart from the knowledge of God’s faithfulness. You aren’t meant to live with the weight of doing life on your own. Man may fail you, but your God will not. Family and friends may not be there when you need them, but your God will always be there for you.
• Where do you feel on your own?
• In what ways do you need a fresh revelation of God’s faithfulness?
He promises to be true to you. He promises to see you through any situation you find yourself in.
Isaiah 54:10 says, “'For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then My faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,' says the Lord, who has mercy on you.” Faithfulness is foundational to the very character of God. God’s steadfast love for you is more sure than the very ground you walk on.
So, respond to God’s faithfulness today. Let His promises steady the parts of your life that feel unsure. As you step outside today, take time to look at the world around you. Think about the things you’ve put your trust in. And remember, God promises that His faithfulness will outlast anything your eyes can see. May your affections for Him be stirred today. May you respond to His faithfulness with your own. And may you experience the love and joy of a Father who loves you perfectly and completely.
