‘Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; ‘
Deuteronomy 7:9
We live in a world full of broken promises. From workplaces to marriages there are people suffering from broken promises and unfulfilled commitments. A person’s word has no merit when it comes to contracts and legal documents. Unkept promises make for a very frustrating life.
When we learn about the truth of God we know that faithfulness is part of His character. It’s what makes Him God. He keeps His word because He is faithful. If God were not faithful, we could not be saved nor would there be any reason to pray and absolutely no hope for the future.
To say that God is faithful we must realize that what He speaks is the truth. He says what He means and means what He says. His word never fails or falters. His promises will always come to pass. 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, “For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His Glory.” If God says it we can count on it.
Sometimes when we face trials in our life we tend to think that God has either forgotten about us or He doesn’t care what happens to us. That is far from the truth and we must change the way we view God’s character. God loves His children and He is faithful in every aspect known to man.
Pray
Lord, thank You for keeping Your promises. I know that You can only be the Truth. As I rely on Your word for hope and joy, let me never forget Your faithfulness.
