“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Cor. 1:9).
How wonderful it is to think upon the faithfulness of God! How it refreshes our hearts to look away from our own unfaithfulness and the unfaithfulness of men, and to remind ourselves that there is One who is absolutely faithful. To be sure, we who know the Lord are called unto faithfulness, and “it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” But our faithfulness is relative; His is absolute. There is no possibility that it can ever fail. “If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself.” For “God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” He is “a merciful and faithful high priest,” for “He is faithful that promised.” Then “let them which suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.” “Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.”
Faithful to all His promises,
Found in His precious Word,
Faithful to teach and to chasten,
Faithful and wonderful Lord.
