The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he
has made. The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all
who are bowed down (Psalm 145:14).
Have you ever had a relationship with someone who was faithful?
You knew you could depend on that person to do what they said.
You learned that their word was completely trustworthy. If they
said they would call you, they would. If they said they'd be
somewhere at a certain time, they'd be there. In fact, if they
were late you began to wonder if they had an accident because it
was so contrary to their nature. It's great to have friends who
are faithful.
God is faithful. He is faithful to fulfill every promise in His Word.
Sometimes we think God isn't faithful because it appears he has
not fulfilled a desire that we have. Sometimes we think He is not
faithful because of a crisis event that seems to say God
isn't faithful. We must remember that God is more concerned
about accomplishing His ultimate purpose in the life of every
believer rather than giving us the desire of our heart.
Sometimes this results in hardship.
The Bible is full of accounts of the faithfulness of God that was
often accompanied with hardship. He brought Joseph out of
slavery to be greatly used in a nation. He delivered the people
from Egypt and brought them into the Promised Land. He gave
Abraham the son of promise late in his life. He delivered David
from His enemies and made him a king. In story upon story
we learn of the faithfulness of God.
Are you a faithful man or woman? The marketplace needs faithful
men and women. Take an inventory of your life today and ask God
if you have been faithful with what He has entrusted to you.
