God is Faithful

dear daughters,

Girl, do I have some good news for you today! God is faithful! My friend Jenny often says, “God is faithful. It’s His character to be faithful, it’s who He is, and He doesn’t change. He is always faithful.” She said her mom often told her, so I want to tell my girls, too. It’s true! The Bible tells us many times that our God is faithful, true and trustworthy. What He says, He means. What He promises, He provides.

And one thing He provides us is a way out of trouble. There are many times when we are walking along the path of life, and we get distracted by something that looks fun, even though we know deep down it isn’t God’s best for us. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says there is nothing God has allowed in our path that He doesn’t know about and that He can’t get us out of, if we will look to Him for help. God is always true to His Word, so we can count on Him to faithfully provide a way out of the messes we sometimes make for ourselves. And not only does God show us the way out, He promises to walk with us on the way out. Sometimes we know how to get out of trouble, but the way out looks just as hard or harder than the way in. Sometimes the way out includes walking through tough consequences, requiring courage and endurance we don't have. God promises to help and strengthen us if we will just look to Him and trust Him at His Word.

God is faithful. He has always been faithful. And faithful will He always be. Trust Him today and every day!
