MY FRIENDS, “GREAT AND ABUNDANT IS GOD’S FAITHFULNESS” TOWARDS US!!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. Lamentations 3:22-25 (ESV)

My friends, what an awe inspiring statement; GREAT IS GOD”S FAITHFULNESS, which is new every morning, meaning it is never ending, and it has nothing to do with the FAITHFULNESS of our mother or father or the preacher or the teacher, but all our hope rest on our Savior and His ABUNDANT FAITHFULNESS toward each of us and if you are a Child of God that makes it very personal and it allows each of us to be “confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in [each of us] will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Phil 1:6 (KJV)

“In April 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with numerous other skydivers and filmed the group as they fell and opened their parachutes. On the film shown on the telecast, as the final skydiver opened his chute, the picture went berserk.

The announcer reported that the cameraman had fallen to his death, having jumped out of the plane without his parachute. It wasn’t until he reached for the absent ripcord that he realized he was freefalling without a parachute. Until that point, the jump probably seemed exciting and fun.

But tragically, he had acted with thoughtless haste and deadly foolishness. Nothing could save him, for his faith was in a parachute that he had never buckled on.” Oh GREAT IS GOD’S FAITHFULNESS as we look back over our lives so much of it we were just  freefalling, living with thoughtless haste and deadly foolishness as we followed the god of this world to perdition.

But oh the mercy and grace of a God who in spite of, was always FAITHFUL to us, for only the FAITHFULNESS of Christ and His “patients toward [us], not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” are we able to praise His name today and for everyone who does not recognize the FAITHFULNESS of our Savior and continues to freefall through life, Christ Is calling you at this moment for a unrestricted dependence on Him as you allow His Spirit to transform you into a candidate for God’s kingdom.

In addition, it must become personal this is your Salvation and His FAITHFULNESS towards you as you seek God’s presence on your own accord as his arm reaches us no matter where we are or what we are doing for “who is a God like thee, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in [His FAITHFULNESS and] steadfast love” Micah 7:18 (ESV)

for “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is FAITHFUL, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Cor. 10:13 (ESV)

Understanding and knowing God’s FAITHFULNESS is the process by which God’s character is cultivated in us. But it must be a daily process, and in so doing, we become aware of our own existence, sensations, thoughts, and surroundings, through Christ and His PATIENT and LONG SUFFERING, and as a result, each day we begin to walk into Gods divine wisdom, a wisdom that allows us to focus on the FAITHFULNESS of Christ and the Journey He has placed us on to the promise land.

Consistent with this, God’s readily perceived and Unimaginable FAITHFULNESS toward His Children, will allow us to become truly humble, devoted and God fearing workers in finishing up God’s commission here on earth as we begin to show our full “gratitude and thanksgiving” for what Christ has done for us and at the same time we will also “share in [Christ] sufferings [as we carry our cross] in order that we may also share in his glory [one day soon]” Romans 8:17 (ESV)

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
