The Faithfulness Of God Even In Hard Times

 

The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made. The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

 

Psalm 145:13b-14

Have you ever had a relationship with someone who was faithful?

 

You knew you could depend on that person completely and totally no matter what, regardless of the level of involvement that you contributed. You learned that they truly meant what they said and did—completely faithful.

 

God is that and so much more. In fact, He is faithful to fulfill every promise in His Word. Sometimes we think God isn't faithful because it appears He has not fulfilled a desire that we have. Sometimes we think He is not faithful because of hard times that seem to say Hr isn't faithful.

The Bible is full of accounts of God's faithfulness that was often accompanied by hard times:

 

• He brought Joseph out of slavery to be greatly used in a nation.
• He delivered the people from Egypt and brought them into the Promised Land.
• He delivered David from his enemies and made him a king.

In story upon story, we learn of God's faithfulness.

God is faithful in all seasons and most of all during our hard times. Take an inventory of your life and ask God if you have been faithful with what He has entrusted to you—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

 

Right before our eyes we see God's faithfulness come through, especially in our greatest weakness—trust Him with all areas of your life and be prepared for great things!
