Jeremiah 33:1-34:22; 1 Timothy 4:1-16; Psalm 89:1-13; Proverbs 25:23-24
God is always faithful. This is one of the bedrock principles of our faith. If God can't be trusted, then he would obviously not be worthy of our faith or our lives. Yet God has proven himself to be faithful again and again in Scripture and in our lives.
Ethan, in Psalm 89, recounts the faithfulness of God four times. He knows that he can entrust himself to God because God will never fail him. This is true for us as well. No matter the difficulties or obstacles we face we can trust our whole selves to God because he is faithful. His words, promises, and character are true. We see this as Jeremiah speaks of the upcoming destruction of Jerusalem. Even in the face of this judgment, Jeremiah recounts the faithfulness of God. He twice states that only if God’s covenant with day and night can be destroyed will his covenant/promise to keep a descendant of David on the throne fail. As the people are facing upcoming destruction and exile, Jeremiah points them back to the reliability of God. God hasn't promised comfort or ease but has promised his presence, love, and eternal life for his people.
As we dwell upon God’s faithfulness, we are called to be faithful. Paul points out to Timothy that “some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits…” God is faithful, but people often are not. Therefore, the more we see how faithful God is to us, the more it should transform our faithfulness to him and others.
God my Father, thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you that I can trust your word and your character. Help me to entrust my life to you knowing that I am yours. Amen.
Question of the day: How would remembering God's faithfulness compel greater faithfulness in you?
