Our God is a faithful God. He fulfills all his promises and
all that he has said that he will do. He is completely truthful and
trustworthy. We can depend on him. He loves us with an unconditional love that
surpasses our human understanding. His wisdom is fathomless; his mercies
unending. His word is absolutely faultless, i.e. that which was God-breathed
and that which even now exists as he is a living God and he is still speaking
to us.
In faithfulness, truthfulness and righteousness he leads his
children (followers of Christ) in his ways and in his truth. He changes our
hearts to make them more like him. He protects us spiritually from the forces
of evil that would come against us. He provides all that we need for life and
love. He created us so he knows us inside and out like no other. So, he is the
best one to diagnose the wounds of hearts and to show us the way to healing.
When we accept God’s invitation to faith in his Son by God’s
grace, by Christ’s death and resurrection, and by faith in what Jesus did for
us in freeing us from our sins, Jesus Christ becomes our husband and we become
his bride. It is important that we understand this relationship in this
respect, because when we marry Jesus we vow to love, honor, obey, and be
faithful to him, forsaking all others (our sins, self and “other gods”).
In Faithfulness He
Leads Me / An Original Work / March 20, 2013
Based off Various
Scriptures
(Ps. 26:3; 86:11; 91:4-5; 111:7-8; 119:73-76;
Is. 25:1,4&9; 42:6-7; Hos. 2:16-20)
Teach me Your ways, Lord, and I’ll walk in them.
Give me a pure heart. I’ll fear Your name.
Your love is always, ever before me.
Continually I’ll walk in Your truth.
You will cover me with feathers.
Under Your wings I’ll find refuge.
My Lord’s faithfulness will be my
Comfort and my shield.
The works of His hands are faithful and just.
Trustworthy are all of His precepts.
Your hands have made me, and they have formed me.
Give understanding of Your commands.
I have put my hope, O Lord, in Your word.
Your teachings, O Lord, are righteousness.
Lord, in faithfulness You have
Afflicted me so I may learn of
Your unfailing love and comfort
And Your truthfulness.
You are my husband; You have betrothed me
In love, compassion and faithfulness.
O Lord, You are my God, I’ll exalt You.
In faithfulness You’ve done wondrous things.
You’ve been a refuge for those who’re needy;
A shelter in storms; shade from the heat.
This is the Lord, we trusted in Him,
Let us be glad and rejoice
In His salvation which He
Provided through the Lamb.
Open the blind eyes; free all the captives.
Tell them of Jesus: “Be born again!”
