Faithful God By Jeanne Theriault
Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, He is the faithful God.
God is faithful and working all things out. The Lord never promised that life would always be easy.
John 16:33 Jesus said in this world you will have trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world.
Though things around you may be shaken, you can hold firm to his promises.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Allow yourself to experience Jesus peace and love though you may be going through some difficult times so much so that our lives can get so clouded with problems that we even wonder if God is there. There are great men in the bible that also faced trails of fear, anxiety, discouragement and doubt. Yet they continued to seek God in their darkest hour. God always proved himself faithful and intervened in their circumstances. God is with you today though you may encounter some challenges in your life Scriptures says in Isaiah 43:1 But now this is what the Lord says he who created you O Jacob he who formed you O Israel Fear not for I have redeemed you, I have summoned you by name you are mine. 2 When you pass through the waters I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you, when you walk through the fire you will not be burned, the flames will not set you ablaze 3 For I am the Lord your God. 5 Do not be afraid for I am with you.
In this life we may sometimes pass through high waters or fiery trials no matter how difficult it maybe, the Lord promises that we are precious to him and he will be with us every step of our journey.
Look at David he faced many things but yet he said in Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid.
David knew that God would provide for him and protect him. The enemy is a thief and he plots against you to steal kill and destroy. But Jesus is our faithful God he comes that we might have life and have it more abundantly. We must fix our eyes on Jesus, he is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2)
Always look up to God and remember his faithfulness even when its hard to see signs of it with our eyes.
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you.
As we built a close relationship with the Lord then we can enter his into his rest as we devote our lives to him in prayer. This will help us gain a firm foundation having nothing to fear when hit with storms of life.
Psalm 56:3-4 When I am afraid I will trust in you. 4 In God whose word I praise in God I trust I will not be afraid. What can mortal men do to me?
Lord I will rest in your loving arms as you embrace me with your love. For no matter what I face you will always stay faithful to your word. I will rest in your peace and not doubt for all my hope is in you. I will not fear for you promise you will be with me in every step of my life. Your are my firm foundation. Forever O Lord I give you thanks and praise! Amen
