Our Faithful God

Encouragement for your daily walk with God

A Christ follower may not always be faithful to do what God wants him/her to do; yet God remains faithful! He stands by His word and fulfills His promises (Isaiah 46:11). Remember Israel at the Red Sea? They may have concluded that God had left them to perish at the hands of the Egyptians. Pharaoh’s army was hot on their trail; the Red Sea prohibited them from going forward, desert on one side and mountains on the other. They were doomed, so they thought! Yet God demonstrated then, as He has done ever since, that He is faithful—absolutely faithful to keep His very word.

Are you facing a personal Red Sea? Perhaps you’ve been wondering if God has abandoned you; left you in a time of peril. Dear Christ follower, you can trust in the character of God. It is His nature to be faithful. The Psalmist declared what Christ followers have known throughout the ages: I have been young, and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor His descendants begging bread (Psalm 37:25).

Your present circumstances may seem bleak—downright hopeless. But do not lose heart! God will prove Himself faithful; just allow Him time to do so. Then, later in life, you will praise Him for His absolute faithfulness to you.

He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
