The Faithfulness of God
The Faithfulness of God
One of the best things I’ve heard in a long time was said to me by a dear friend recently.
She said, “If you’re wondering what God is doing, think about what He has done.”
That is so true!
When I take the time to reflect on my years past, I can see the fingerprints of God all over my life.
Challenges that seemed daunting at the time are now distant memories – part of the progression in my spiritual walk to make me stronger and more bold for Christ.
When your life goes off center, and it seems like there’s no end in sight, remember what God has already done.
You are not alone, and you never were.
Like a shining beacon in any storm, the faithfulness of God is our spiritual lifeline.
We can count on the fact that God is already there at the end of it – no matter what our circumstances.
When our hearts struggle with fear, discouragement, loneliness, pain, or grief, reminding ourselves of the constancy of God’s love can be a tremendously encouraging game-changer. If our faith falters, we must remember God’s immovable, undying, steadfast love. – gotquestions.org.1
Great is the Faithfulness of God
As the Creator, God has the power to carry out His perfect plan for our lives and to accomplish His perfect purposes through our suffering. And as the faithful Creator, He can be counted on to do it. Therefore we can consciously entrust ourselves to His care with complete confidence, and hand the safekeeping of our lives over to Him, believing that He will do what is best. When we do that, we will have peace in the midst of adversity. – Richard L. Strauss, Author and Theologian.2
