This past week I have been thinking about Godās faithfulness. What does it mean for one to be faithful? Most of the time, faithfulness is tied to a consistency of action. One is faithful when one consistently does what one says he/she will do. It is like a promise. One will gladly trust in a promise if the person consistently fulfills what is promised.
With God, it is no different. Godās faithfulness is tied to a trust in the fact that God will perform what has been promised. For God, what is at stake is not only a consistency of action but Godās very nature. Who God Is Determines What God Does. Therefore, for God to not do what was promised is for Godās very nature to be in jeopardy. When you are asked to trust in Godās faithfulness, you are asked to trust Godās very nature.
When Joshua inherited the mantle of leadership, he was commanded to trustā¦to trust in what God promised. What was that promise? It was that God would be with him. It is the same for you: āBe strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged for the LORD your God will be with wherever you goā (Joshua 1:9). Trust in the faithfulness of God by trusting in Godās very nature.
