He is Always Faithful
2 Thessalonians 3:3 (ESV) 3 But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
2 Timothy 2:13 (ESV) 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.
Because Yahweh cannot deny His own nature, it is sometimes necessary to be reminded that He is a faithful God. Because He loves you, He is committed to you. Yahweh wants the best for you, even if it is not easy for you. He is not seeking an individual who lacks perseverance or character; he wants a person of determination and courage. That occasionally necessitates accepting life’s more difficult aspects. Remember, His ways are greater than ours, and Yahweh’s thoughts are not our thoughts.
Occasionally, as we are in the midst of a trying time or “hard thing,” we forget how faithful Yahweh is. When a storm is raging, we might even start to doubt His existence or lose faith.However, because Yahweh is a faithful God, He does not forsake you or turn His back on you. He is right there, encouraging, teaching, correcting, and guiding you. Yahweh sees you!
Do you recall Abraham’s story? Yahweh promised him that he would father many nations and that the number of his descendants would be like the sand on a beach. But, after ten years of waiting on Yahweh’s promise, Abraham and Sarah grew impatient, asked questions, and decided to handle things themselves. Sarah’s slave Hagar gave birth to Abraham’s son, Ishmael.
Have you received any promises? Have you been provided a goal? Furthermore, things are not progressing as fast as you think they ought to or as you had intended. Never forget that Yahweh’s faithfulness is not synonymous with His timing. Just because it took time does not mean He is not faithful.
So, as you start your day, consider your faith in Yahweh. Do you lose conviction in His faithfulness if His timing does not match yours? Or if events transpire differently than you had expected? Do not be moved by what you see but know that Yahweh is always faithful to you!
