resting in God's faithfulness

"God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." 1Cor1:9

God has purposed in us to succeed in our spiritual life. He intends for us to reach our potential. He wants us to succeed...the only problem is that we chicken out. Whenever we are struck with trials, we easily give up and claim that maturity is not worth the pain.

If only we truly understand the extent of God's faithfulness, then maybe, just maybe...we'll consider pushing through! God's faithfulness is dependent on His character and essence. Have you ever considered the fact that God is OMNIPOTENT? He is all powerful...nothing can ever faze God almighty! Nothing can overpower God. So if He tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us, that's a guarantee! How about God's IMMUTABILITY? Do you know that He can never change His mind? God's resolve is final! What more can you ask for?

The Bible says that nothing can ever be able to separate us from the love of God (ROM 8:38-39). Another translation says that the reason why nothing can ever separate us from God's love is the way He embraces us. God will never let go of us. Yes, we sin and we do stupid things that cuts off our fellowship with God, but we are still within His reach. If only we confess our sins, then God, in His faithfulness, will always forgive us without neglecting His justice (1JOHN1:9) In everything, God is exerting His faithfulness...it never runs out and it is even new every morning! (LAM 3:22-23)

Fellow believers...if you're caught in a jam, don't give up easily! God is with us, God is with you...if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, then He will never forsake His children. Always go back to the essence and attributes of God. He will wisely guide you. God's faithfulness will always be a stable factor of our Christian life...all you have to do is recognize that fact!
