His Life/Your Life #8

1 Thess. 5:24 “Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you to Himself for your salvation, and He will do it (He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own).”

            God never call us to do anything without faithfully keeping His word and enabling us to do it. We are not always faithful to do what God tells us to do. In spite of that, God remains faithful and He stands by His word to fulfill what He has promised (Is. 46:11). When the children of Israel reached the Red Sea, they might have wondered if God was going to keep His promise to them. There was no way they could cross the sea and there was the entire Egyptian army racing to catch them! God proved to them, just like He always does, tat He is absolutely faithful to every word He speaks to His children.

            God might spoke to you about something in particular, a ministry in your church, the way to raise your children, or what you should do in your job. You obeyed Him, but now you are facing a Red Sea experience. It seems like what you thought God wanted you to accomplish is not happening. It could be that your ministry has not been received very well. Your children might be rebelling, maybe work is not going well. We still have to trust in the character of God, it is His nature to be faithful. The testimony of His people through out the ages is expressed in Psalm 37:25 “I have been young, and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken:/ Nor His descendants begging bread.”

            No matter how bleak your present circumstances are, do not lose hope. No one has ever experienced unfaithfulness on God’s part! Let God reveal His faithfulness to you. You will be able to see what God has done, what He is doing and you can praise Him for His absolute faithfulness to you!
