GOD IS FAITHFUL

Psalm 37:3   Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
God wants you to feed on His faithfulness. Focus, meditate and dwell on God’s faithfulness


God is faithful, abounding in faithfulness. Faithfulness is central to God’s character. Everything He says and does is certain. He is 100% reliable, 100% dependable, 100% of the time. He does not fail, falter or forget. He says what He means and means what He says. He does everything He says. He will see it through to the end. God is faithful.  Don’t forget this and don’t take this for granted.

•    God is faithful – He is faithful to save (1 Cor.1:9)
•    God is faithful - He is faithful to give you victory (1 Cor.10:13)
•    God is faithful - He is faithful to protect you (2 The.3:3)
•    God is faithful – Even if we are faithless, He remains faithful (2 Tim.2:13)
•    God is faithful – He is faithful to do what He says (Heb.10:23)
•    God is faithful – He is faithful to forgive (1 Jn.1:9)

To experience God’s fruitfulness, you need to have a fresh understanding of God’s faithfulness.

3 Powerful aspects of His Faithfulness

1)    Every Word God says is true
2 Cor.1:20   For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
Num 23:19  “God is not a man, that He should lie,  Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do?  Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

God’s Word is eternally true. Faithfulness grows out of truth. What is true is trustworthy

2)    Every trial has a God-given purpose (Job,23:10; Jam.1:3,4)
Rom.8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.


No one can prevent God’s destiny from being fulfilled in your life except you yourself. God is faithful and will cause all things to work for good to those who love Him. When you go through hard times, God has purpose. A trial causes you to depend on God, moulds your character, reveals your heart condition and repositions you to fulfill destiny.

3)    Every promise will be fulfilled
Deu.7:9  “Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

God is faithful to fulfill His promise. He keeps covenant and mercy to those who love Him and keep His commandments. He makes promises and keeps promises


Abraham and Sarah experienced the faithfulness of God
•    God gave them a promise

Gen.12:2-3  I will make you a great nation; I will bless you, And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

•    God fulfilled the promise and gave them a son.
Gen.21:1,2   And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken.  For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him

•    They judged God faithful who had promised
Heb.11:11   By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

•    They believed God will fulfill what He had promised
Rom.4:20,21   He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,  and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.


What God said, He did. What He promised, He fulfilled, because He is faithful.

How about you today? You can find hope in your darkest hour through the faithfulness of God. Are you troubled by the trials of life? Remember, God is faithful.  Why don’t you put your trust in Him today?

Great is the Faithfulness of God
