When we remember God’s faithfulness in the past, our confidence in His Word grows.
Lamentations 3:21-25 “This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.”
God is always faithful to His promises. We can count on his promises because He makes them based on His truthful, unchanging character (Heb. 6:17-18). Sometimes when we go through hard time, we tend to forget that God is always dependable. That’s why we need to pause from time to time to look back over our lives and see how He’s helped us, provided for us, guided us, and guarded us along the journey.
Many times over the years, I have benifited from God’s faithfulness to His Word. For example, Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” even though I didn’t understand everything on November 14th, 1975, I knew that I was a sinner and called on God to forgive me. And He saved me, just as His Word said.
There have been so many times when God provided just what I needed. Everyday He provides just what I need, not all my wants, but all I truly need.
Take a few moments today to think about God’s faithfulness to you. How has He directed your path and supplied your needs? As you trust in Him, He’ll show you exactly how worthy of trust He is.
