OUR GOD IS FAITHFUL TO US

Psalm 36:5 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

I had that song 'Great is Thy Faithfulness' running through my head this morning so I thought I'd look at God's faithfulness to us.

What exactly is faithfulness because you don't hear so much about it these days? 

The dictionary and concordance define faithful as being loyal, trustworthy, constant, steady and stable.  What lovely attributes and scripture tells us that our God's faithfulness is so above and beyond that it reaches beyond the clouds.  It's like God's faithfulness just stretches out there beyond anything we've ever known. It is part of Who He is, just like we looked at His goodness yesterday. Read those attributes again slowly and let them sink in. 

God is faithful to us. He faithfully brings the sun up every morning, faithfully feeds us and provides for us, faithfully watches over us; those things are good but far more than that He does this...

1 Corinthians 1:8-9 He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day that our Lord Jesus returns.  God will do this for He is faithful to do what He says, and He has invited you into partnership with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Paul goes on to say in 2 Timothy 2:13 If we are faithless He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

God is trustworthy, constant towards us, always the same, steady and stable. Doesn't all that make you feel so safe and secure and just want to love Him? 

He's promised to keep you strong to the end and He is faithful (loyal, trustworthy, constant, steady and stable) to do what He says!

Now, let's apply this wonderful knowledge to every day. What other things has He 'said' to you in His word?  Because whatever it is, whatever the promise, He has declared He will be faithful to do it, you can take it to the bank. 

OUR GOD IS FAITHFUL TO US! Glory to His Name.
