In a season of possible worries and doubts, one thing we all have to remember is that no matter the circumstances or situations we might be in; one thing is for sure: God’s faithfulness is unfailing! There will be times in our lives when we ourselves are faithless or have no faith at all when a trial is put in front of us and we always ask ourselves “How am I going to get through this?” When you act in faith on God’s word, God will not fail you. Another way to say this is that when you have all three parts of faith: 1) a word from God, 2) trust in God and God’s word to you, and 3) appropriate action; God will come through for you to fulfill his promises. Faithfulness is a part of God’s nature or essence and it never ends. Indeed, it’s impossible for God not to be faithful to his word and promise.

Even when we are not faithful, God is faithful to what He has said He will do. God will always be true to himself, even if we are not true to ourselves. As Paul says in 2 Timothy 2:13 – “God remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.” We don’t test God because God’s faithfulness is not in question, ever. The ones whose faithfulness is in doubt is us. And that’s why God tests us, to see if we will be faithful.

David, who was anointed to one day be king, went out with faith in God to face Goliath after all the soldiers of Israel were afraid and wouldn’t accept his challenge to fight. He went with five stones and a sling and killed that giant, even though he was only a shepherd boy (1 Samuel 17). God came through for David and God surely will come through for you! It might be when we are at our weakest point; when only God can fix the problem; after much waiting on our part; after much testing; or at the last minute. God will come through in a way that we don’t anticipate or can’t even imagine ahead of time; so whatever you might be facing or going through right now, however God does it, God will come through for you always!!
