God Is Faithful…

And God is faithful
1 Corinthians 10:13

Have you ever promised to do something for someone & then neglected to do it? This can be a frustrating experience both for you and for the person you promised. You had every good intention to complete it but it just didn’t happen. Some people will experience this scenario frequently while others won’t. Your experience will come down to your ability to be faithful to what you promised.

Today’s verse gives us a window into the character & nature of God. We’re told by the Apostle Paul that “God is faithful”. In addition to everything else Paul tells us about God he’s ensuring that we understand that God will never let us down. NEVER, EVER!!! For us to understand this, we must understand that God is not like us [Numbers 23:9, Hebrews 6:8, Isaiah 55:8)

We can’t judge God’s behaviour by how we’d act in similar circumstances (2 Timothy 2:13). If we’re feeling inadequate, He is our sufficiency. If we’re feeling trapped, He is our freedom. If we’re feeling sad, He is our joy. Even when we’re unfaithful, God is ALWAYS FAITHFUL. Everything God has promised He will complete (Philippians 1:6) because He is faithful.

This week let’s get ourselves out of God’s way so His faithfulness can enter into our lives. Let’s stop making excuses & apologies as to why God cannot do what’s needed in our lives. Let’s take the promises that God has given us in His Word, believe them and let the Faithful One work on us to produce them in our lives (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

New Thoughts…

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord
Isaiah 55:8

Have you discovered that life seldom works out the way you thought? When we’re young our minds are filled with possibilities, plans & progress. We think we can do anything… and often do. As the journey of life progresses, we discover that we didn’t know as much as we thought we did. Life never stops, instead it just keeps offering us golden opportunities to get into God’s Word and gain His wisdom. When we have Wisdom, we can keep progressing forward with surety.

Today’s verse contains a potent truth that we must always remember. God’s thoughts are nothing like ours. It doesn’t matter how good or how God we think our thoughts are, they’re nothing compared to His. God’s thoughts are always perfect & every single one of His promises proves true [Psalm 18:30]. 

So how can we access this rich fountain of great wisdom? We do this by continually building our lives on God’s Word rather than on our own way of thinking. This can be a struggle when we start [Romans 7:14-25] but as we continue to press in, we’ll discover success is surrounding us. God wants to supply wisdom & speak knowledge and understanding to us [Proverbs 2:6]. God is the best adviser we can have in life & living so don’t ignore Him listen to Him.

This week let’s remember that our thoughts on any particular situation will most likely be nothing like God’s. If we want to grow & move forward in life, surrounding ourselves with favour & success, we need to look into God’s Word – the Bible. It well let us know exactly what God thinks plus it’ll let us know what we need to do about it.
