God Is Faithful

One of the Bible verses I memorized when I was younger says, “If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is” (2 Timothy 2:13 NLT). It’s one of those that I’ve had to remind myself of through the years because His faithfulness is not dependent on my faithfulness. Sometimes we can fall into the trap that God’s love and faithfulness towards us is dependent on our behavior. It’s not. When God was angry at the Israelites in the wilderness and felt like destroying them, He didn’t because of He is faithful to His promise to Abraham. God always keeps His promises, acts according to His character and finishes what He promised. His faithfulness to you and to me will remain no matter what. You can count on that.

Here are some Bible verses on God’s faithfulness:

1. Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

Psalms 36:5 NLT

2. Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created.

Psalms 119:90 NLT

3. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

Lamentations 3:22-24 NKJV

4. The Lord is good; his love is eternal and his faithfulness lasts forever.

Psalm 100:5 GNT

5. For the word of the Lord is right; And all His work is done in faithfulness.

Psalms 33:4 AMP

God’s Great Faithfulness

One of the great hymns of the past is called “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”. The chorus says, “Great is thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed thy hand hatch provided – Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!” It’s taken from Lamentations 3:23, and it has been on repeat in my head for a while now. It’s both a declaration and a reminder to me that each day God continues to be faithful to me and you despite our circumstances. The financial markets of the world have come crashing down, along with our 401k’s and IRA’s, but God is still faithful to us and to His promises. He continues to show His faithfulness no matter what is going on.

Psalm 31:7 says, “In mercy you have seen my troubles and you have cared for me; even during this crisis in my soul I will be radiant with joy, filled with praise for your love and mercy” (TPT). These times we’re living in are forcing us to de use where we are placing our trust. The things we have tried to build with our hands and skill are proving to be unreliable. The troubles each of us are facing during this time are real, yet God has continued to care for us. He remains our hope and our rock. When the floods of unemployment, loss of income, sickness, and change come, it’s the lives that are built on the rock of God’s Word that will last. These floods force us to decide if we really believe what we’ve been saying we believe.

You and I can have joy during uncertain times because joy is not dependent on our circumstances. Joy comes from a heart that trusts God and it produces praise no matter what things look like. Because God cares for us more than the birds of the air and the flowers in the field, we do not have to worry (Matthew 6:25-30). We can let our praises shape our cares into prayers (Philippians 4:6). Praising God during times like these remind us of His faithfulness and keep our eyes on Him. Each day gives Him the opportunity to provide for us, to show us His mercy and to prove His faithfulness. If we will take time to look for those mercies and His faithfulness, we will see them. He will provide all you need even during a crisis because His faithfulness endures forever (Psalm 117:2).
