If there is one thing that was stressed at the Passion 2012 conference that I was privileged to attend this past week in Atlanta, Georgia; it was the WORD OF GOD. The WORD was spoken over and over as 40,000+ young adults gathered in the Georgia Dome. And let me clarify…it was not just read in a sermon here and there; no, for example we spent an entire “main session” reading the entire book of Ephesians together. It was stressed that these words printed in these leather-bound books we have is the WORD of GOD… He spoke to us and He still SPEAKS to us!
“For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.”
Psalm 33:4
And if we can believe that this WORD of the LORD is true to us today, then we can undoubtedly believe that He is STILL faithful in all He does. But so often, I forget of His faithfulness. Until, of course, He proves Himself faithful yet again and allows me to fall at His feet and apologize for my disbelief. Sometimes I think He enjoys that though… seeing His children, who are of sinful body, humbly come before Him to praise Him for what our minds can’t always conceive. Because He is a GOOD God and His faithfulness continues forever!
“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.”
Psalm 100:5
God has been so faithful to me. I can list hundreds, most likely even thousands, etc, of examples of how God has been faithful to me. And a million more (non exaggeration) reasons of how He has been faithful to my family and my friends. Some examples including my time in India when sickness came over my body and God provided an amazing woman named Anita to walk alongside of me through it all. He was faithful when I had to stand in front of and speak His Words to His people all around the world. He was faithful when I was sprawled out on the floor of my college apartment wondering what to do next. Ahh, this doesn’t even scratch the surface!
He has been SO faithful and is still faithful TODAY. …and tomorrow! etc etc..
He is faithful even when I worry about tomorrow. And I know He will stay faithful to me through all of the rest of my days. He knows how it will all work out and work together. All it really requires of me is to TRUST that He will remain faithful. Because He will. Although I might not understand why I am not moving to California this week, or taking a science class to “move me further and faster along”, etc, etc…He will still remain faithful. He knows why He has kept me in Kernersville, North Carolina and He knows all that He has in store for me. Praise Him for His continual patience and love and of course His great faithfulness to me!
“Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.”
Psalm 100:5
