God Is Faithful
-Roy Lessin
Often, as the New Year approaches, I quiet myself before the
Lord and listen to hear if He may have something to say to me about the coming
year. This year, as we approached 2017, I sensed God speaking something
specific to me through various sources. The words were simple and clear and
straight from Scripture, “God is faithful.”
God did not give me a list of Bible prophecies that would be
fulfilled in 2017. He did not tell what was going to happen in the stock
market, in Israel, or in world events. I have no idea what things will unfold
over the next twelve months, however, I am certain of one thing, “God is
faithful.”
God does not want me to place my focus on my needs, but on
His faithfulness; not on world problems, but on His faithfulness; not on
circumstances, but on His faithfulness; not on my feelings or opinions, but on
His faithfulness; not on political change, but on His faithfulness.
The truth of God’s faithfulness is something each of us will
need to be reminded of many times throughout this year. Our faith needs to rest
in His faithfulness; our feet need to stand upon His faithfulness; our heart
needs to trust in His faithfulness; our emotions need to celebrate His
faithfulness; our mouths need to proclaim His faithfulness.
Here is a little poem that may be a helpful reminder for you
in 2017…

Deuteronomy 7:9 AMPC Know, recognize, and understand
therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps
covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His
commandments, to a thousand generations,
1 Corinthians 1:9 AMPC God is faithful (reliable,
trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended
on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Corinthians 1:18 AMPC ...God is trustworthy and faithful
and means what He says,
Psalm 89:8 NLT O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there
anyone as mighty as you, O LORD? You are entirely faithful.
