"This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, he also will deny us. If we are faithless, he remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." 2 Timothy 2: 11-13
Do you believe that human disobedience invalidates God's promises? He alone can and knows how to be faithful! Do you feel that God has forgotten you because at some point you forgot about Him? God's promises do not change. They last forever. The centuries pass one after the other. The flower wilts and the grass withers; but God’s promises, engraved in the ink of eternity, are a permanent reality. Nothing can dull its brilliance. Not even the inconsistencies of your crazy heart.
This does not mean that His promises will be fulfilled in any way and in spite of our rebelliousness. Many of them are conditional, meaning that He does not impose them on us. However, human indifference is not capable of weakening the fidelity of God's love. His promises are still thriving and firm, even if they are enjoyed only by those who humbly accept them.
God loves you.
Your steps belong to Him.
He alone knows the true needs of your restless being. You do not. You think you know. You imagine you understand. You think you know where you are going, but time is in charge of showing you the sad reality. Only in Jesus are your blurs revealed. Only in Him are your ravings evident. Only in God do you stop running and running. In Him, finally, your non-being is transformed into being.
Take Action
As you open the windows of your life to the new day, turn your eyes to God like the flower to the sun. Open your heart to the Spirit, like the dry earth to the morning dew. Do not live alone, do not walk blindly, and follow Jesus wherever He takes you. Sing "He Remains Faithful" (if possible, with your family).
