Tag: What the Bible says about God’s faithfulness

Psalm 94:17-19 (NKJV) 17 Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence. 18 If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. 19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.

No matter what we face in our lives, God is there with us.

He is our refuge and our strength in times of trouble or distress (Psalm 46:1).

In all of life’s ups, downs, storms and battles, God is our source of hope.

The things we face can often seem insurmountable. And sometimes they are if we fight them on our own, by our own strength and with our own understanding.

Not every battle is easily won. In fact, some may very well feel like they will be our demise; our end.

But if we look to God for our help, He will walk us through each situation step by step.

As we allow Him to, He will give us understanding.

And as we let Him, He will strengthen us when we are weak.

He breathes new life into us as we surrender to Him.

No matter what we are facing right now, God has the answer that we need.

Sometimes that answer might not be what we are expecting. It might not even be what we want. But it is the right answer.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

We need to be careful not to reject His answer just because it isn’t what we were expecting.

Trust Him. Let Him show us what it is that we need to see, and tell us what we need to hear.

And as we do this, we will see that His comforts will delight our soul.

Jeremiah 1:19 (NKJV) 19 They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

God’s plans for His people are good. His plans give us hope! He is with us and will deliver us.

There is nothing so big, so bad or so deeply rooted that He can’t fix.

So, what are we going to do?

We are going to stop talking about it and trust Him with it all! Amen.

We know that faith is the answer.

I remember one day, years ago, I was sitting in the hospital.

The doctor came out to let us know that my dad needed heart surgery. It was unexpected and very scary.

His heart was in bad condition.

He was 80, and all the years I had known him I had never seen him in this kind of frail position.

He was Dad; strong, smart and always there for us kids.

But now it had been turned around. We had to be strong, wise and there for him.

Words were hard for me to find. All I kept thinking was, “I need You God. please help!”.

Sometimes when we are dealing with deep or hard things, words are scarce. We just have to trust Him.

God says He is with you, and it’s in those types of moments you know it for sure! It becomes real.

Are you in that position today?

Do you need to believe that He will deliver you?

We live in a real world, with real problems. We need to be real with each other and with God.

He knows you have a lack of words right now. But it’s not always words He wants to hear. It’s our faith in Him that He wants to see.

Drop everything you are doing and ask Him to help your unbelief.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Psalm 59:17 (NKJV) 17 To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.

Reflecting back on this past year, we can see all the changes we’ve endured. We would have never been able to do it without God.

And you were a part of it, because God used you to help bring us through.

Thank you all; for your support and for your prayers.

He was there with us every step, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Time goes by so fast, and the older we get the faster it seems to go.

We admit that we enjoy the nice weather here in North Carolina, where God moved us to. We try to get out and do things to take advantage of it.

Hard work is good when you are doing it for the Lord. And if we keep our hearts right, we will stay balanced; time to work and time to enjoy our blessings.

God is faithful to help us each day.

Going into this new year, let us hold fast to His love He has shown us. Let us take in His beauty all around us and draw close to Him.

Let this be the year or the season we acknowledge Him and put Him before anyone or anything else.

Let us purpose in our hearts to spend more time in His word. Spend more time in prayer. Love on those He has brought onto our path. And be grateful for what we have right now.

Let us go into this new year with praises on our lips and lifting Him up. He deserves it. Amen.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

These words were originally spoken and written by the prophet Isaiah to the people of Israel.

They were part of Isaiah’s prophecies regarding the impending captivity of Judah at the hands of the Babylonians, although that would not happen for several more decades.

God was assuring them that He was with them, no matter what may come their way.

His reassurances were specific, not just vague and indistinct. He told them that He would strengthen them, help them and uphold them with His righteous right hand.

The fact that He specifically mentions that He will strengthen them signifies that they will need His strength to get through the struggles they will face.

This is significant. And we need to know that, because God doesn’t change, He is here today for each of us, just as He was for the Israelites.

Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) 6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.

He will walk us through the changes that we’re facing in the world today, right this moment.

I don’t know about you, but with the world as upside down as it is right now, this brings me great comfort and strength.

Let us all lean on Him and listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit as we navigate these days that we live in, trusting that He will strengthen us, help us and uphold us with His righteous right hand.

Amen.

Habakkuk 3:6 (NKJV) 6 He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations. And the everlasting mountains were scattered, The perpetual hills bowed. His ways are everlasting.

His ways are everlasting!

What an awesome statement to reassure us of who God is. He is the same forever, unchanging and unwavering in His sovereignty.

This is what we need to know and focus on in times of uncertainty.

Everything in the earth and in the heavens bows at His command and at the sound of His voice.

The earth and everything in it are at His disposal.

And yet, He calls us His children because we have surrendered to Him and His redemption plan for us.

If we are ever feeling insecure or anxious in the world that we live in, these words should bring us comfort, reminding us of who our Father is!

So, rest in Him. Know that no matter what we see happening, and no matter what we face in our lives, He is never caught off guard and nothing ever surprises Him.

Amen.

Acts 7:34 (NKJV) 34 I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.” ’

God knows. He sees the things we go through.

Some may think He isn’t listening; that He is so far away from us and that we have to carry this load all on our own.

That’s not true. But the devil would love for us to fall for it.

God has made a way even before we knew what was going to happen to us. God has already paved the road for us to follow. He will go the extra mile to help His children whom He loves and cares about dearly.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Do we think our problem is too big for Him? Do we think He can’t hear us when we cry out? Do we think He will not move mountains to reach us. I think we are forgetting what He is capable of doing.

He surely has seen, He hears and He knows. It’s up to us to trust Him with all our heart, and He will come down and deliver us Himself. Amen.

Psalm 37:25 (NKJV) 25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.

Life can sometimes be very hard.

It can throw things at us that we never expected and have no idea how to overcome.

But in all that we face in our lives, God is faithful. His faithfulness far outweighs the storms that hit us.

This doesn’t mean that we won’t go through times that feel like they might kill us. That feeling isn’t unusual during rough seasons. In fact, it happens to almost everyone. Tough seasons hit us all from time to time.

Most of us reading this can probably nod our heads in agreement.

And we can also likely nod our heads in agreement when it comes to God’s faithfulness and His ability to exceed the power of the storms that hit us.

When the storms come, and the waters and waves have receded afterward, God is there in the aftermath to help us recover.

No, it may not ever go back to the way it was before the storm. We have to learn to accept that.

“Normal” isn’t always what we perceive it to be. It’s just what we’re used to. And sometimes we need to allow God to redefine our normal.

In the end, though, God provides in the way He sees fit. We may not always like it, but He provides and that’s all that really matters.

And in that, He will never forsake us or leave us begging for bread.

Isaiah 45:22 (NKJV) 22 “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

When we are lonely, look to Him and He will fill that emptiness.

When famine has struck, look to Him and He will provide for our every need.

When crisis comes, look to Him. He will bring understanding and wisdom to our situation so that we make the right decision.

When things are great, look to Him and give Him thanks. For it is through Him we are walking in His blessings!

He will save us from all things that we face, for He is God. And there is no other.

Praise Him today, for we have Someone to look to and be saved!

Isaiah 44:6 (NKJV) 6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.
