GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

Lamentations 3:22, 23

King James Version

Pastor Thomas Obadiah Chisholm wrote one of my favorite hymns “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”  “Great Is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.”  God doesn’t turn His emotions off and on like we do.  He loved us yesterday.  He loves us today and He will love us forever.  We can trust Him to always be the tender loving compassionate Father that He is now.

We know that God is faithful to us but how faithful are we to Him?  Do we put His beloved Son first in our heart, in our life, in our time and in everything we do?  If we want to make our Heavenly Father happy, we will serve Jesus and put Him first in our life.  God really loves His Son and He is proud of Jesus. 

We read in the Bible “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:16,17).

May God help us to be faithful in serving Jesus and stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us.
