The Lord is Faithful

“LORD God of Hosts, who is strong like You, LORD? Your faithfulness surrounds You.” ~Psalms 89:8 HCSB

I don’t know about you but there are times when I feel very weak.  I feel the weight of the world around me.  Maybe you’re going through something no one knows about and you are carrying the burden.  Maybe your health isn’t as good as it once was and you feel hopeless or even trapped in your body.  Perhaps it’s a relationship you’re in, it is draining and you have nowhere to turn to.  There are just a few things we carry and they can ware us down.  So where do we turn to?  The Psalmist knew the answer and he turned to the only one who could really help him.  

I remember long ago listening to a sermon from a man named Fred Nickels.  His sermon was about how we put our faith in God’s faithfulness.  I have leaned on this ever sense.  God is faithful.  He does what He says He will do.  We can trust His promises.  So when God says I will protect you, we can know He will protect us.  We can trust Him and He will see us through to the end.  He never says He will take away our suffering, but He does promise to be with us till we are called home.  There is no one like our Lord we can put our confidence in Him.  

So where do need to trust the Lord?  What area of your life have you been holding back from the Lord?  I now many of you reading this have areas of your life you have never handed over to God.  He is waiting for you to trust Him and wants to show you His blessing on all of your life.  “Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; Yahweh, they walk in the light of Your presence.”  Trust the Lord today.

Lord help us to trust in You and You alone.  Lord surround us with you faithfulness so that we might shout with joy in our Lord.  Amen!
