SEE GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

Overview

God is faithful and has never failed in all the promises He has made.

Observation

Before Joshua dies, he reminds Israel to see that God is faithful – that every promise God made, He kept, and not a single one has failed. He reminds Israel to see God's faithfulness and to be secure in it. In the same way, God is reminding us to see His faithfulness in our lives and be strong in our hope.

Sometimes when we go through situations, we may be tempted to think that some of God's promises may not come to pass in our lives. This is where we need to recognise that God is faithful. He is trustworthy. And all that He has promised will come to pass.

Numbers 23:19 reminds us: "God is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not change His mind. Has He ever spoken and failed to act? Has He ever promised and not carried it through?”

2 Corinthians 1:20 also reminds us: For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for His glory.

God has been faithful to forgive us; He has given us victory over the flesh; He has answered our prayers, performed miracles, and healed our sicknesses. He has proven time and again that He is true to His word. We can count on Him. He is faithful!

Response

No matter what situations you are facing today or this year, allow the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to see the faithfulness of God. You can expect God to come through for you because not a single promise of God has ever failed.

Prayer

God, I commit my impossible situations to You. Forgive me for the times where I lacked faith and allowed my thoughts and doubts to dim the promises in Your word. Help me to trust in Your promises, rejoice in hope, and see Your faithfulness. I rejoice in the fulfillment of all Your promises because You are a faithful God!
