Hebrews 11:11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
Don’t despair! When we feel like our faith has run out, we can do what Sarah did and remind ourselves that our God is still faithful and He has all the faith that’s needed. He gave the promises and He can’t fail so because He is faithful we can rest in Him. He doesn’t expect us to struggle on but wants us to rest in Him.🙂
She judged God faithful. She didn’t depend on her own faith, she leaned on God’s faithfulness, that He is totally trustworthy, that He doesn’t tell lies, that His promises are true no matter how we feel or how long they take or how low our faith is. Thank You Lord.
If we can remember God is faithful even when we’re at a low ebb, we can still receive the promises of God. What promise has God given you? Maybe you’ve waited forever, like Sarah waited for Isaac. If so, put your eyes back on God and just lean on His goodness, lean on His love for you, lean on His word that never fails and look for Him to do it.
God is faithful to us even when we’re down or worn out or get it wrong, or when we blow it. God is there for us and His strength will flow through our weakness when we lean on His faithfulness.
2 Timothy 2:13 If we are unfaithful He remains faithful, for He cannot deny who He is. I wonder if that sank in? God won’t fail us because He cannot deny who He is. Why? It’s because it’s who He is - Faithful!
Be encouraged today, whether your faith is high or low, our God has not changed one iota. He is still faithful and He wants us to lean our whole being on His faithfulness and what He has promised, especially when we’re tired out and most vulnerable.
Lord, we come to You, we’re leaning on You, leaning and resting on Your faithfulness, and we know You will never fail us. Thank You Lord. In Jesus name. Amen.
