There's An App for that ... Faithfulness

King David wrote the following Psalm about God’s faithfulness.


“2 Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; 3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness.” Psalm 26:2-3 NIV

In this passage King David was saying “God I don’t know why you do things you do, or why you allow me to go through the things you allow me to go through, but I trust that you have my back, that you have my best interest in mind, and I trust that you will be faithful to me.”

Faith in the faithfulness of others is easy when things are going well, but when things become difficult that is when our faith is tested. Faith in your spouse is easy when they are doting over you with hugs, smiles, and kind words. But what if there is a disagreement, what if they don’t give me what I want? That is when both faithfulness and faith are tested. If we can’t trust each other we will begin to think the worst about each other. We will question their every comment, every action, and we will find slights in the most subtle of things. In the same way if we don’t trust God, we will think the worst of God. We will begin to think that God is out to get us; that He enjoys testing us or that He doesn’t care about us. When we lack faith in His faithfulness we will not trust Him, and in turn we will not be faithful to Him. Remember David’s words when he said that God is faithful and His love for us is unfailing. That does not mean we will not face trial or adversity, but it does mean that God will give us whatever we need to overcome our struggle in order to grow from it. Not only is God good all the time, He is also faithful all the time. Wait for Him, trust in Him, call to Him; because He is faithful to you!
