Throughout the Bible God has made promises.
He promises to never leave us or forsake us. And He hasn't.
He promised Abraham that He would have many descendants. And Abraham had MANY descendants.
He promised that there would be a Savior. And there was.
He does not break His promises. In Titus 1:2, we see that it is impossible for God to lie. He is true to His word.
God also promises that we will face difficulty; the Christian walk isn't easy. So, we are to remain faithful to Him and trust Him. He loves us, He is good, and He is faithful. Forever will He be with us. He will never let us go. His love endures forever. Forever. Can you think about that? Forever. Forever He is faithful, Forever He is strong, Forever He is with us.
It is hard to have faith and trust Him, especially in tough times. But, that's what we are to do. Trust Him. Because He is good. And He will never let us go. Romans 8:28 tells us: 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. And in Jeremiah 29:11, it says: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
It's hard sometimes to see the hurt and the crap in this world, and to still say, God is good. But, the truth is, He is Good. And He loves us. And no matter what we're facing, we are to remain faithful to Him, just as He remains faithful to us. No, we're not perfect, and certainly not God, but we are called to have faith and to be faithful to Him, and when we seek Him He will help us.
God's timing is perfect. Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. It's not easy to be patient, to wait on Him. But that's what we are to do.
Remaining faithful and being patient isn't easy, and it won't be. But we have to do this. Because He will deliver us. His love endures forever. He is constant, He does not waver.
And He will bless us so much. The walk with God isn't easy, but it's good. He has a plan for us, even if we don't understand. His ways are far above ours, and we won't understand completely. But, He loves us and has a wonderful plan for us.
We see in Proverbs 3:5-6, 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[a
He knows what we need. He really is good beyond what we can understand. May we remain faithful to Him, and Trust His plan for us even when it's tough. May we grow in this truth.
This is the truth God revealed to me/reminded me of, thought I would share. God Bless. Take Care.
I leave you with this video. Take a look/listen.

Also, read all of Proverbs 3. Great. And check out Psalm 136; here are a few verses from it, Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks for the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords; His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1-3
Oh that we may hold on to the truth that God loves us so much. May we have great faith.
Like I mentioned, He wants to great things in us, we are to just trust Him and be obedient to Him. Let's let Him do a great work, and just trust Him. How easy that is to say, but so hard to always do. But, Lord help us! Oh, what great things can come out of this! Blessings to you.
