His faithfulness abounds | A devotion by Mario Quezada
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
God is faithful. Paul is reminding the Corinthians that they have been called and the lord has enriched them with his wisdom. That they are not lacking in spiritual wisdom and that the Lord God will sustain them. God is faithful.
Often times I forget that even when I am faithless, He is faithful. 2 Tim 2:13. This road that I'm on to Him is narrow and straight and though I veer sometimes, the road remains there. His word doesn't change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. That gives me hope beyond hope. Not that I desire to ever jump off this road, but if I ever find myself in the muck and mire off the path, I know that the road is there. That He is there. Waiting with arms stretched open to guide me back.
God is faithful. It has no reliance on me, this promise of his. He is true and faithful and loving, even when I am none of those things. I tend to forget that at times. That his faithfulness has nothing to do with mine. This isn't a works based points system of getting into His good graces. I am His child.
My level of obedience is determined by my love for Him. Ah, but his love for me just is, and has been before I was formed. He knew me yet he still died for me. His faithfulness was proven in the beginning and has no provision on me or my actions. The saving has been done. My heart is secure in his, my life in him is complete. My God is faithful.
Prayer:
Lord let me be mindful of your faithfulness always. Let it be on my tongue and at the forefront of my mind. Permeate my stone heart with your spirit and create in me a new heart of flesh daily. Let me ever praise you and your faithfulness. Amen.
