There are times when I've read my Bible and I would just say to myself, "Wow! God is so faithful! These people did all sorts of detestable acts known to mankind, idolatry and all sorts of other abominations; but God is still standing guard over them and still faithful to His word." What a wonder our Abba is! Our Abba, Father is faithful!
There are also times when I think about what if God was like us. We would all be in a world of trouble. As a matter of fact we probably wouldn't even be here, but no, God is so much greater and higher than us, beyond what our feeble minds can imagine. His patience is never ending. He never grows tired or weary with His creation and He loves us to the core! God is faithful!
Think about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All that He suffered in becoming sin itself. How we scorned him and laughed at Him and beat Him and treated Him far worse than the scum of the earth. And to know that God Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and Earth and everything therein, looked upon all of this being done to His one and only Son, and He turned His back to it, so that His word would be fulfilled and that His redemption plan for our souls would take effect. God could have sent a fleet of angels and destroyed each and every one of us, but He didn't, He remained faithful to us and to His word. Jesus Christ, could have said, "No, I'm not doing this! I will not become sin itself and go to the depths of Hell and suffer for these wretched abominations!" But He didn't. He remained faithful and obedient, even obedient to death on the cross! Our God is faithful! Jesus Christ is faithful!
Sometimes when we think about God's faithfulness, we tend be carnally minded instead of spiritually minded, and think about what God has done for us in the natural; helped us pay a bill, helped us go here or there, we wanted something and God gave it to us and that is all great and wonderful but that's not it, that's not even the height of God's faithfulness, that stuff is easy for God to do, He doesn't even have to lift a finger to perform things such as that, that's temporal stuff. God's faithfulness is so much deeper than that. It's time to straighten up an use our spiritual eyes and thank Him for the ultimate things He's done! He's been and will forever be faithful!
And remember, even when you mess up, He's still faithful, He's still there, you'll pay a little price, but God will still be with you and He will still be faithful, so don't fret, God disciplines those He loves! He is faithful!
God Bless! God is Faithful!
