We’ve talked about how the Lover of our souls loves us
forever; that love is also truly faithful.
Even if we have been less than faithful, His response
is always pure, faithful love.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34 NKJV
But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. Psalm 86:15 NKJV
He is compassionate because He knows our frame – what
we are made of – and loves us anyway.
He is a covenant-keeping God. He cannot ever go back
on any promise – His nature wouldn’t allow it.
As a matter of fact, this is how the Lord described
himself when He passed in front of Moses:
The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, - Exodus 34:6 ESV
(By then, He’d already had multiple opportunities to
back away from the children of Israel if He was going to do so.)
He is the God of His Word. You can always count on
Him.
Because He is loving, He has to discipline us as an
earthly father would his son. Sometimes we have to suffer through consequences
of our actions.
Because He is all-knowing, sometimes He has to answer
prayer in a way He knows would be best for us. We might struggle with receiving
answers that don’t line up to what we think we need.
Continue to trust. He is a faithful God and He will do
what is best.
What a joy to know He will always keep the faith with
us! It’s AmaZing!
