We serve a God of Faithfulness

Our God is indeed a faithful God. He is a God who is our very present help in time of need. Deuteronomy 7:9 says "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands."

The Hebrew root from which the words translated "faithful" and "faithfulness" in the Old Testament are derived means "to prop" or "stay" or "support". The intransitive use of the word signifies to stay oneself or be supported. With that understanding, we can translate the word "faithful", as applied to a person, means someone a person can safely lean upon. The Greek word used in the New Testament means "trustworthy" or "to be relied upon".

We can lean on God and find rest in Him in our trouble times. He is indeed a Faithfull God and we can depend on Him. His love and commitment to us is the underpinning force in our lives. 2 Timothy 2:13 says "If we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for He cannot disown himself". He cannot deny himself; every promise He has made to us is true.

Let us therefore, have trust in His promises and throw ourselves upon His grace. He wants to take our cares, so lets give them to Him. He is forever working for our good and for His Glory.

Problems will arise in life, trials will at one time or another beset us, but Jesus will never leave us or forsake us, He is sovereign and in control of every situation in life. God is faithful, and our trust and faith in His faithfulness should be the most encouraging thing in our lives.

Be Blessed.
