GOD’S FAITHFULNESS CANNOT BE DENIED (I)

God is ever faithful. When we talk about the faithfulness of God, we are referring to God’s truthfulness and His nature that guarantees that He will honour His words. That God is faithful means He will not disappoint, but will maintain high level integrity that makes Him dependable, reliable and trustworthy.

God has shown Himself faithful to us in many undeniable ways. For example, God is faithful in basic things. These are things God makes available to us irrespective of wealth, status, education, or righteousness. He has faithfully given everyone the ability to breathe, empty our bowels, eat and sleep. Jesus also reminded us that God makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:45). These are tokens of God’s faithfulness that cannot be denied.

God is also faithful in little things. There are many things we have that we think are small or not enough. And because we think they are little or insignificant, we don’t see them as evidences of God’s faithfulness that should be acknowledged. The one who does not have a bicycle should thank God for his legs because someone else does not have working legs. Every little gift of God you despise is another man’s prayer point.

The Bible teaches that we should always acknowledge the faithfulness of God. We must be very deliberate about thinking through our lives and searching out every possible way in which God has demonstrated His faithfulness. It is a good thing to always celebrate God’s faithfulness.
