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 has demonstrated His past faithfulness to give us
a foundation for our faith. Now show God your faith. And He’ll show you His
faithfulness. Steve Furtick, Pastor
[Jesus
prays] Sanctify them in the truth; Your
word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the
world. John 17:17-18
NASB
On
the night before His death, Jesus prays for His disciples and for all those who
would follow Him throughout the centuries to come. Sanctify means to separate from
or to stop participating in evil deeds, to become holy. It also means to grow
in purity, to live holy lives. This holiness comes from Jesus, the Word made flesh, the absolute truth
that never changes. Believing in God or
not believing in God does not change God, does not diminish His faithfulness to
us. The Father’s faithfulness to His Son secures the foundation of our faith.
That
night long ago, Jesus prays for God’s mission to take the Gospel into the
world, prays for God’s people to tell the Good News to all people. Today, as the
Living Word intercedes for each believer, the Holy Spirit empowers us to
demonstrate our working faith in God, to live holy and fruitful lives, to share
the grace of Jesus with others.
Jesus, let
my thoughts seek truth in Your holy Scriptures. Find me faithful to Your enduring
truth. The world tries to discourage my heart, dissuade my mind, desecrate my
soul, but great is Your faithfulness. Grace washes away the negative effects,
establishes new boundaries with greater hope. Consecrate my life that I might
honor You. - dho

of our faith.
