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
God
will match your doubt with a revelation of Himself that can convince
you of His faithfulness. Blackaby
“By faith…
who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of
the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned
to flight whole armies…” Hebrews 11
Bible scholars describe the 11th chapter of
Hebrews as the “Hall of Fame” of the Old Testament’s faithful men and women.
Their lives have become stories of faith that stand in sharp contrast to those
whose lives reflect disobedience and rebellion against God. Trusting in the
faithfulness of God provides them assurance, a hope for their future, hope that
God’s promises will be fulfilled. To understand this kind of faith, to live
this depth of faith, there must be a belief in the infinite and invisible God
as the Creator, God Almighty, Jehovah, Immanuel. Yahweh is the great I AM, the faithful
God who never changes, whose promises never fail.
Take time to read this whole chapter; you will
recognize names, places, stories. While these often life-threatening situations
test their strength, will, flesh, and endurance, God provides; yet, even receiving
God’s approval, none of them received all
that God had promised. Through the Messiah, along with all those who stand faithful with Christ, these heroes of faith
will receive God’s reward. God’s plan offers a greater grace, includes the
Gentile people, creates one body of believers. God’s holy love gives us the
gift of faith, then wraps it with Grace. Now, our lives must become new stories of faith, teaching others why to
believe and when to trust and how to endure.
Yahweh – the beginning of all things, the God of everlasting hope –
help me unwrap my gift of faith to bring You glory. Help me tell Your story of
love with my life. Great is Your faithfulness! Hallelujah! -dho
Focus Point: God’s holy love gives us the gift of
faith, then wraps it with Grace. Now, our
lives must become new stories of faith, teaching others why to believe and
when to trust and how to endure.
