The Lord is perfectly faithful

Monday, March 8

For the past couple weeks I have been in a whirlwind of God's love and faithfulness. I would like to take a moment to simply Thank God for his love and faithfulness. You are awesome God!! I remember reading in Isaiah 25:1 that the Lord's faithfulness is perfect. This means that one can be absolutely sure that what He says he will do, will get done! I have been seeing the Lord's faithfulness predominantly in my life and the life of a close girl friend. God's faithfulness has become real to me and I can testify to it! I believe the reason for this revelation of God's faithfulness - I'll get to love in second - has been a direct product of prayer. Ever since I became a born-again Christian I knew prayer was powerful, but it's only been in the past couple weeks where my eyes have truly been opened to the power of prayer and the perfection of God. Now I'll touch on love. Love makes prayer extremely enjoyable. God's love compels you to prayer and when you and God begin to interact in prayer and exchange love, your relationship with Him becomes more intimate and trust begins to flow out of prayer. The scripture that really helped me with trusting in the Lord is Proverbs 3:5-6. It says that we should not lean on our own understanding, but trust in the Lord with all of our hearts. It involves putting aside all the answers that we think are right and seeking the Lord for his answer. It takes humility to admit that your thoughts or action, though they seem right and sensible, are not what God says are right. A combination of trust and prayer produces and outflow of love and faithfulness. If I didn't prayer I would not see God's faithfulness. My friend and I are a witness of His faithfulness. We share the things we prayer for and then soon after there is an answer to our prayer!!! Our faith increases and our joy in the Lord amplify. If I didn't prayer, God would still be faithful, after all, he cannot deny himself.(2Ti 2:13) I just wouldn't get to see it and I would go about my day thinking that the Lord was not involved in my life except for the rare noticeable moments where I find money on the floor or some shopkeeper gives me extra food than what I paid for. ... ugh.. that sounds stale.. I love the excitement that comes from answered prayer and the realization that God cares about each of his children on a personal and intimate level. There is nothing in our lives that is too small or insignificant for the Lord to take care of.

Word of advice: Seek to know the Lord's faithfulness and start praying.
