No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
Remembering God's faithfulness has been an essential part of my lifeline. 10 years ago, I was teaching and my husband and I decided it was best for me to stay-at-home after having our first child.
Not knowing where that would lead, we decided to step out and trust that God would take care of us. We had to trust that He would be faithful. After all, I had seen His faithfulness with my parents growing up and with my grandparents.
For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. Psalm 100:5 (NLT)
God has shown me His faithfulness on a daily basis and I know that in taking these steps and leaning into Him to show up in my life He will continue to prove that He is who He is.
One of my favorite people to talk to about God’s faithfulness with is my grandmother. She could write a book on the things God has done for her and shown His faithfulness to her for all these years. Not a joke, weekly as we have conversations she has a story.
Stories of God’s comfort, peace, love, goodness, mercy, strength, unbounded grace, trust, and yes, convictions.
We see this same faithfulness throughout the Old and New Testament. From beginning to end we see a story of a God who is in relentless pursuit of His children and through all their rebellion He remains faithful.
If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is. 2 Timothy 2:13 (NLT)
When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush He said to Moses, “I am the God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” He was reminding Moses He was the same God. He was the God of His Fathers. He had proved to be good, trustworthy and faithful to them and He would prove the same to Moses and all the Israelites. He will prove the same to you today!
Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Psalm 36:5 (NLT)
Although at times it may feel or appear, as it did to Moses, that there may be an end to God’s faithfulness. Maybe we question if He will come through in this situation or this stage in our life.
We may ask those age-old questions. WHY? Why did this happen God? Where were you when…? Did you even notice that this just happened?
What we are wondering is, is God faithful?
How can He cause this suffering? Can I trust Him to get me through this? Will He be here in this story? Or will I have to do it alone?
We think that our suffering or heartache are a measurement of His faithfulness and not His mercy and love.
I learned quickly, through suffering a great loss that the best thing to realize God’s faithfulness was to ask for what purpose instead of why. His purpose has declared to me time and time again of who He truly is.
We can be sure that His faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. It is as vast as the Heavens. Praise the Lord!
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 (ESV)
We have this hope as an anchor for our souls and we can hold to it without wavering. We can cling to that hope by remembering the times that God has been faithful not only for us but for His children for all of History.
One of the ways that we can offer hope to others is by sharing the hope that we have within us. We can share the times that God has been faithful to us.
Faithful to complete a task. Faithful to show His goodness and kindness. Faithful to show up every morning with an opportunity to show us who He really is.
Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:23 (NLT)
For He who called you is faithful. He will be faithful to complete and sanctify you in every way until the day He comes again. Hallelujah!
Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (NLT)
