THE LORD IS FAITHFUL 

Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

One of God’s characteristics is His faithfulness. In this world, there are many advertisements that promise this and that to convince us to purchase them. However, many of us become disappointed when those promises are not fulfilled.

God's Word is true and filled with His promises which will surely be fulfilled. Our part is to believe and speak God's word wholeheartedly. That is what the prophets said when they were wailing over Israel. They did not only weep over Israel, but also revealed their God. 

Regardless of our sorrowful and sad situations, we must keep remembering the God whom we trust. God will never leave us, even though we are in a dark valley, because He is there. God's grace is always available for His children. We might still need to face our problems after praying. However, God’s grace is greater than all situations in front of us.

If we say, ”God is good every day”, then His goodness will be evident in our lives. On the other hand, the goodness of God will be far from us if we only grumble about our situation. 

What is God's goodness? What is God's grace? This is the power to bear with your situation. In His grace and goodness, we will find a new spirit—the wisdom that provides us with solutions, peace, and rest that nourishes the soul.

The Lord is never late, but He is faithful to shape us and show us His goodness.
