“For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are
everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all
generations. “
Psalm 101:5
“His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations”
This verse has been on my heart this week. The Lord is so
faithful. This past week has been interesting because I have
been reminded about the things I am trusting God for. Those
things haven’t come to pass as yet. Nothing seems to be
happening. I have asked God the “why” question and the
“when” question and as I have done that the scripture I shared
has been bubbling in my spirit. Even in the “hard to understand
times” God is faithful!
“His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations”
It may “seem” like nothing is happening at the moment but
the Lord is faithful! He really is….
The word says “His faithfulness and truth endure to ALL
generations!”
God was faithful to Abraham when He told him to
leave his home to go to a place he didn’t know.
“The Lord had said to Abraham, “Leave your native country,
your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land
that I will show you.”
Genesis 12:1
A hundred and one things could of gone wrong for Abraham.
Leaving what you know to go to a place you have
never seen and never heard of is crazy right.
But Abraham obeyed and went and God’s faithfulness protected
him as he went. God blessed Abraham, protected him and
directed his every step. Abraham had favor where he went.
That was God’s faithfulness operating in his life.
The Lord was faithful to Adam and Eve when they ate of the
tree that God told them not to eat. They were doomed when they
ate the fruit. The enemy had won if it wasn’t for God’s
faithfulness to Adam and Eve! (Genesis 3)
Without God’s faithfulness we would be doomed.
“His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations”
Generations later we see God’s faithfulness in the life of Hannah.
She was barren and because of that she was constantly
ridiculed by Peninnah. It seemed like Peninnah would be
victorious. It seemed like her negative words would ring
true in Hannah’s life.
“So Peninnah would taunt Hannah and make fun of her because
the Lord had kept her from having children.
Year after year it was the same – Peninnah would taunt Hannah
as they went to the tabernacle.
Each time, Hannah would be reduced to tears and would not
even eat.”
1 Samuel 1:6, 7
But God was faithful to Hannah! He answered her prayer and
granted her heart’s desire by giving her a child, Samuel!
Year after year it seemed like nothing was happening for
Hannah. There was no relief from the taunting. But God is
faithful and even in that dark time God’s faithfulness prevailed.
Because of God’s faithfulness Hannah had a child and
a testimony! (1 Samuel 2)
“And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home
is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be
His people. God Himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear
from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or
crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
Revelation 21:2-4
God’s faithfulness is everlasting. Even in the end of time we see
His faithfulness!
Throughout scripture we see God’s faithfulness. Generation after
generation we see His faithfulness at work. His faithfulness
was at work then and it’s at work now. I know things don’t
seem to be happening right now but God is faithful.
Last month I went on tour to Zambia and I was involved in
a very serious car accident. I was supposed to be dead. At the very
least I was supposed to be seriously injured but because of
God’s faithfulness I escaped unscathed.
When my country came to a standstill in 2008 with no food
in the country and our dollar crashing it was God’s faithfulness
that kept me. When I didn’t know where the next meal would
come from God was faithful. So no matter what is happening
or not happening at the moment I know God is faithful!
Why I am sharing this with you? I am sharing this with you
because no matter what you going through know that God
is faithful. Troubles will come in their droves but
God is faithful and He will deliver you from them all!
He was faithful yesterday, He is faithful today and He
will still be faithful tomorrow!
His faithfulness will outlive us all!!
Because He is faithful your darkness will turn to light.
Because He is faithful everything will turn out alright.
The enemy will not win over you because of God’s faithfulness!
You will have a testimony because of His faithfulness.
Because of His faithfulness your posterity is blessed!
It will take all of eternity
to write of God’s faithfulness so as I close my hope is that you
will get a revelation of God’s faithfulness in your life.
I hope the very few stories I have
shared will encourage you to rely on His faithfulness in your hard
times. In the dark know He is faithful.
His faithfulness might not manifest itself in the way we expect and
the time we expect but know this, He is faithful! That truth is
irrefutable! Have a blessed day friends…….
