The Faithfulness of God
How do you describe the faithfulness of God? Without overthinking it, what is the word, words, or phrase that first pops into your head? Pause for a moment to think of an answer before you read any further.
God's faithfulness is not changed by who we are or about what we think about Him. He has been, is, and will forever be faithful!
2 Timothy 2:3 - if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot disown himself.
From the very beginning, we humans have been striving for our own way; and God has given us chance after chance to surrender to His Way. There are times when God will have us face the hard consequences of our unfaithfulness to Him. Because of His great love, He waits for our return to Him.
Lamentations 3:22-23 - Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
How do you describe the faithfulness of God? I spoke with a woman at her 100th birthday party this past weekend, and she summed it up in one word that surprised me. She said, "Overkill". I looked up the definition, and I think that's a great description of the faithfulness of God!
Overkill - an excess of something (such as a quantity or an action) beyond what is required or suitable for a particular purpose.
The faithfulness of God exceeds and goes beyond way more than we deserve. Most definitely, "Great is Thy Faithfulness"!
