Faithful One, So Unchanging

It is very much cliché to say that God is faithful, but He is indeed faithful. It's sad that when things are going well, we take it for granted; but it's just as sad when the world is falling apart that we question it. And that is where I was, in part, a couple of weeks ago. I was plagued and downtrodden about all these different issues in fellowship, and I had no peace. I was exhausted and didn't know what to do; but I knew in my head that God was faithful, not in my heart.

It blows me away what a patient and grace-extending God we serve; if it was me, I would have given up on me a long time ago. But God hasn't given up, nor will he ever; and it is these reminders that are manifested in my friend's lives...in my own, and in this fellowship's that remind me that I need not worry, for God is indeed faithful. Again, it's sad that we take it for granted, but it is evermore infinitely wonderful that God has chosen to extend and remind us of His faithfulness, constantly. He is faithful, and He never tires of reminding us unfaithful and doubting creatures, that He is indeed, faithful.

9"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his convenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. - Deuteronomy 7:9

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.
