God’s Faithfulness ~ Our
Everlasting Hope!
LORD, You are my God; I
will exalt You and praise Your name, for in perfect faithfulness
During this season of
reflection and renewal, join me in exploring God’s Faithfulness. Do you find
strength for every circumstance in God’s Faithfulness? God IS
Faithful! God’s Faithfulness is our everlasting Hope! ~ Donna Oswalt
To be faithful in every circumstance
means that we have only one loyalty, or object of our faith – the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
God is faithful, by whom you were
called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1Corinthians 1:9 NKJV
God
is sovereign, all-powerful! This attribute of God’s character escapes our full
understanding but becomes the truth a faithful follower accepts. Our loyalty to
Christ reveals itself by our faith in God. When things fall apart, when
circumstances become difficult, when we can no longer see God’s purpose – we
have a tendency to doubt, blame, and criticize. This eroding of personal faith
affects our spiritual health and witness. Our faith must stay grounded in the
faithfulness of God, not in our ability to understand the situation.
In
our faithfulness to God, perseverance must continue, as well as loyal devotion with
Christ as the “object of our faith”. Especially when we do not comprehend,
trusting in a faithful God brings the soul true hope and provides rest in
fellowship with Christ. On this journey there are many unexpected roads that
lead to despair, wind through darkness, or pass over mountains, and God always goes before us. Our
continued faithfulness in God “in every circumstance” finds its greatest
purpose in allowing God to work through us.
El Shaddai, Lord God Almighty – renew
Your gift of my faith. Reach through me to others that need to know of Your
power. Let my story be: Great is Your faithfulness to me, in every situation. –dho
Focus
Point: Our faith must stay
grounded in the faithfulness of God, not in our ability to understand the
situation.
