"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4
When we consider the concept of faithfulness our minds naturally tend to think about marital faithfulness or being faithful to our Christian walk. These are all good examples, but here is one aspect of faithfulness that we do not think about often: God's faithfulness to us. God promises that He will be faithful to fulfill the promises that He has given His children. God's faithfulness should be a source of strength and encouragement for us in our lives but we often overlook His faithfulness.
When I consider why many Christians overlook God's faithfulness one thing comes to mind --- God does not fulfill His promises in our own timing so we mistake God's delay for unfaithfulness. Well, let me tell you that this is a lie. Satan himself wants you to think that if God doesn't answer your prayer right when you want Him to that He is being unfaithful to help you in your time of need. Let's be aware of this lie and prayerfully work to not fall victim to it!
One important fact that Christians must remember is the faithfulness God shows to us is the same faithfulness that we receive as a fruit of the Holy Spirit. God's faithfulness is infallible and perfect and I am encouraged that fruit of faithfulness is living in me. Now it is just up to me to cultivate it and make it work and thrive in my life!
