God’s Faithfulness

God’s Faithfulness

Scripture Reference: Psalm 33:4

            We discussed in the last blog how you sometimes have to make an effort during the holiday season to focus on the good and not on whatever situation you may be going through. There are many situations that can make this time of year difficult. For me, it has always been a dream to have children and share the holiday season with them. To have the home made Christmas decorations for the tree and wake up Christmas morning and have children that are so excited that Santa came. I have dreamed over and over again of the traditions that I would start with my family. This time of year it can be very easy for me to get caught up in a pity party for myself.

            We begin to center the season on our own traditions. However, the center of the season is not what we may or may not have. The center of the Season is Jesus! The center of the season is that we serve a God that is so faithful that He sent us the greatest gift of all. He sent us Jesus.

            Sometimes, especially when you grow up in church you hear words like faithful and the full impact of that word gets lost in translation. I have to admit, even to write this blog I needed to look up exactly what faithful meant. I knew the definition, but I didn’t understand the full impact of what it meant that God is faithful. The Webster dictionary gave several great definitions for faithful. I chose three definitions to share today:

•          Steadfast in affection or allegiance: loyal
•         Firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty
•        Given with strong assurance: binding

God is all of these things. He is faithful to us. This is definitely something to celebrate! Do not stop praying for the desires of your heart. God is faithful and hears your prayers.

•   Psalm 136:2 says that God’s faithful love endures forever! I love this verse of scripture. It goes right along with my favorite verses in the Bible, Romans 8:38-39. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. This is an amazing promise!
•   Psalm 33:4 says that God is faithful in all He does! That pretty much sums it up. He is faithful in everything!
•   1Corinthians 1:9 says that God is faithful to do what He says! I love this promise. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 1:20 that all of God’s promises are Yes, and Amen! Then Psalm 37:4 says that God gives us the desires of our hearts. Keep praying! Find the direction you are supposed to go. God will get you there.

So this Christmas season remember that God is faithful and celebrate His faithfulness. He is the reason for the Season. Do not let infertility steal your Joy!
