FAITHFUL ONE

Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT 

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! 

His mercies never cease. 

Great is his faithfulness; 

his mercies begin afresh each morning.

I had the song running through my head "Faithful One, So Unchanging", written in 1989, but it’s still relevant today.

Our God is unchanging, so faithful to us all, and His love and mercy never fail, which is so reassuring in a changing world where nothing seems to stay the same for very long at all! He’s the same to you and me as He was with the disciples, with Moses and King David!😊

He is the only One who we know will never leave us or forsake us, who will never let us down. He’s the One who hears our every heart cry, who understands us when we don’t understand ourselves, and the song says, ‘He is our Rock of Peace, the Anchor who holds us steady in the storms.’

2 Timothy 2:13 NKJV If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. I wonder if we’ve thanked Him today for being so faithful to each one of us, for not giving up on us when we maybe wander off, when we doubt His promises are for us, and forget we owe everything to Him.

God tells us to depend wholly on Him for everything, not to lean on our own understanding or performance. It’s all about what Jesus has done and I was reminded recently that when we feel discouraged with ourselves, we have been trusting in ourselves instead of trusting in God! That really struck home!  

1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Just in case we’ve been ‘trying to do’ anything relying on our performance, let’s go back to the Faithful One and put all our dependance back on Jesus and know He is our Rock of Peace and we can call out to Him again and again, knowing He is our Faithful God. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
