Faithfulness At the end of a long and tested life of spiritual service, after countless brushes with death, Paul was able to point to God and say, "He remains faithful." Why? Because faithfulness is God's nature, and not even He can deny that about Himself! Let's make an important distinction here. God doesn't just do faithful things, He doesn't just act faithfully. No, it's much deeper than that. It's who He is. We could even go so far as to say that God can't not be faithful. It's always a challenge for us to fully receive this wonderful truth, because we tend to view God through the lens of the humans around us. We see hints of His attributes here and there in our earth-bound relationships: the kindly neighbor, the parent who's there for us, and the pastor who help us through life's trials. But no matter how well-intentioned or sincere someone might be, they're bound to fail because they're fallen. Not God. He's completely different. God is never going to fail us the way others have because He's never fallen as they have. From the very first moments in the Garden of Eden to the End of the Age...one thing that's never in question is the faithfulness of God. It's more reliable than the Law of Gravity. Remember that the next time your faith in God's faithfulness is challenged. Remember that His faithfulness is a fixed part of His very nature. Remember that He can't not be faithful to you. And remember that His faithfulness remains regardless of how faithless you may be. "Blessed be the LORD...there has not failed one word of all His good promise... (1 Kings 8:56 NKJV) Remember that His faithfulness is a fixed part of His very nature. God's faithfulness remains regardless of how faithless you may be.
