God is faithful (1)

At times you can look at your life and not understand how God is at work. At times you may even feel like giving up because life as a Christian is harder than you thought. At times everything may seem too much and you feel like throwing it all in. And you know that its not right to feel this way, yet there seems little you can do. 

And that's true. There is little you can do, but there is something. And there is lots that God can do. For you, you can know that God is FAITHFUL; and God Himself will be just that!

"God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." (1 Corinthians 1:9)

There are many things in life which we do not understand, and as mere human beings there is a lot about God that we will never understand with our limited knowledge. However, God has revealed sufficient knowledge about Himself to us in His Word. It is there that we know God is Faithful. We may seek to look in our lives for surety of Him, however, we must not look to ourselves for God. That is where our problems lie; when we look to ourselves we only see our failures, and we become discouraged. So instead we must look to God, and His victory through Christ.

Consider the perfect love of God. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends (John 15:13). That's precisely what Christ has done for you and for me. His love was perfected in Christ, and we have been made to have fellowship with Him - we can thus share in that Great LOVE.

God is perfect. In such perfect love He has also promised to take care of you. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23).

Whatever you situation in life at the moment, know that this is God's will for you and He will get you through it! Hold fast to what you have learned. God is faithful and will not abandon you because HE LOVES YOU!
