God’s Faithfulness Fuels Our Faithfulness

Good morning! Yes, I am bright eyed and bushy tailed. I had to laugh earlier this week when one of my friends admitted she was a little envious at all I accomplish in the mornings. If only she could see me completely DONE by 8:30 in the evenings…Ha!

Morning person? YES!

Night owl? OH NO!

Anyway, I was blogging on my teacher site this morning. We do a devotion series over there once a week called “Wisdom for Wednesday.” The quote I found this week was so good, I thought I’d share it with you all as well. It is from God is More than Enough by Jim Berg. If you haven’t read his stuff, you should, by the way. He has some GREAT studies. I highly recommend Changed into His Image and Created for His Glory.

Take a moment and let that sink in, would you? I know I had to… I read it over quickly at first. However, after thinking about it, I realized just how much truth is in that little quote. 

We must have a clear picture of God’s faithfulness if we are to live the life of faith that God wants from us. We must know God is faithful. We must believe that He can and will carry out the promises He has given us in His Word.

He is faithful to forgive us from our sins. He is faithful to provide an eternal home is heaven. He is faithful to be with us through trials and temptations. He is faithful to guide and direct our steps. He is faithful to watch over us. He is faithful to care for us. He is faithful to keep His promises.

God is faithful!

Berg goes on to say, “God’s promises will have little impact upon you if you do not believe He is faithful.”

We must believe God is faithful to keep His promises. When we believe that, we can’t help but live a life of faith. His faithfulness fuels–drives–our faithfulness. It motivates us to keep trusting, to keep pressing on, to keep moving forward in our walk with Him.

God is faithful!
