Great is Thy Faithfulness

You can trust God's promises!!

Don't let your lack of trust in people spill over to doubting your trust in God.When God says something,He is going to do it.He is faithful.

Know that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God. He keeps his commandments! Deuteronomy 7:9.

When we are faithless, God is faithful! (2 Tim. 2:11-13) He can't stop being who He is. Faithful is His attribute.

You don't have to fight the temptation of sinning for the rest of your life on your own. God's going to fight it for you.

In Ezekiel,the dry bones couldn't come to life on their own.They needed breath ("numa").God breathed his Spirit into them and LIFE happened.
Just as we didn't come to Christ on our own, we don't remain in Christ on our own. That's what the Holy Spirit does. He breathes in us every morning. New breath. He gives us new life and He operates through us! You aren't alone! Why? Because God is faithful to His promises.

"They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and FAITHFULNESS!"( -Lamentations 3:23)


Your actions do not change God.


When we are faithless, God is faithful!
Like Hosea, God keeps saying "I want YOU! Whatever it takes, whatever the cost, I want you back." He will not give up. Why? Because He is faithful. That is His very being. He is who He says He is. I can just picture Gomer who has chosen to sale herself for sex. She's chosen this lifestyle. She's in the midst many beautiful girls- she's exhausted because she's been with so many men in one day and she's all messed up. Then, I picture this auction happening in a brothel and the men get to Gomer and they're only offering half the price of her normal rates. She's looking down. Not caring who buys her and she hears this voice saying, "i want you." and it get's closer to the stage and it kept saying "i don't want all these other women, i want you. just as you are. you. all of you." It's a voice that she recognizes. And she starts thinking "wait a minute, that's my ex husband. I left him for this. What's happening? Why would he want me?" Hosea wanted Gomer just as God wanted Israel, his people. The ones he taught to walk. (Hosea 11)
His son, His child. The one that was called out. Chosen. Israel was God's. Can you see how much God loves us in that story? While we are prostitutes, selling ourselves to whatever, God looks at us and says, "Logan, I want you. I don't care what you've done. I don't care about your past. I do not change. I am a faithful God. My promise to you will not fail. I keep my promises. You can trust me. I'm trustworthy. I am who I am and I do not waiver in my very being. I want you."

God remains faithful to his people! There's an if though. He remains faithful IF we remain in him!
No matter what you've done, you can't change who God is. He wants you! All of you. Not the clean part. He wants all of your filth. Your dirt. Your grossness. Just as you are. He wants it. And he's going to remain true to his promises and you can trust him because he is a faithful God!
