God's faithfulness is one of His character trades that provides us with a certain sense of security and is comforting to me. We live in a world where nothing is sure but God; everything changes but Jesus is still the same yesterday, today and forevermore. He is trustworthy, reliable and always faithful. His word stands, and everything He has promised will come to pass.
God doesn't change, His truth doesn't change and His purpose doesn't change. He keeps His word and all of His promises. However, we have to make sure that we line up with God's word and His path for our life.
It’s one thing to say and believe that God is faithful to us, and He most certainly is, but the more glorious truth is that God is faithful to Himself first, and therefore to us. He’s faithful to His own character, faithful to His own plans, faithful to His own promises… and therefore faithful to us, His precious children, whom He is lovingly committed to.
When we understand that God is faithful to Himself, and therefore to us, we’re freed from the devastating effects of thinking that His faithfulness is dependent on us. He’s not faithful to us because of anything we’ve done well, or badly, and He doesn’t determine His faithfulness on any merit of ours. We could never earn or deserve His faithfulness, yet He chooses to give it to us freely!
God is faithful to us, even when we’re not faithful to Him, because it’s a part of who He is; He can’t deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13). We may be thoroughly unfaithful, but God is faithful to Himself. No matter what circumstances or situations we find ourselves in today, whether we’ve been faithful or not to Him, we can trust that God is faithful in the midst of it all. For we know that God absolutely can’t be anything BUT faithful… because it’s part of who He is.
