Faithfulness

God provides. He shows his abundance of grace and mercy throughout our lives. He is faithful and compassionate. He never broken his promises.

Finishing the book of Joshua, and moving on toward the book of Judges, left me a small note on how great God is. God was faithful to the Israelites and helped them conquer their enemy and land. God showed that if you serve Him, if you stay faithful to HIM, His promises are made. He promises are kept and held bound. His promises never fail.

 "¹⁶ Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods! ¹⁷ It was the LORD our God himself who brought us and our parents up out of Egypt, from that land of slavery, and performed those great signs before our eyes. He protected us on our entire journey and among all the nations through which we traveled. ¹⁸ And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites, who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because he is our God.”

                                              ~ Joshua 24:16-18

Our God is faithful. He is just. But He is also a Jealous God.

Our God has been faithful to us, but have we been faithful to God?

Have we been serving Him wholeheartedly and truly living out our life as a Christian?

⁶ “Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left. ⁷ Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. You must not serve them or bow down to them. ⁸ But you are to hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have until now."

                                       ~Joshua 23:6-8

It's the end of the Thanksgiving break and school is coming around back into our lives.

"Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds."
