God is Faithful

1 Thessalonians 5:24 NKJV “He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.”

God has brought us into this new year peacefully. The year is new, fresh, and full of potential. But It is also full of uncertainty. In the midst of uncertainty, our faith can struggle, our walk with God becomes labored, and our heart heavy. There is something about the unknown which seems to weaken us. It drains our patience and blurs our focus. Yet, in the middle of everything stands a faithful God. A God who is not manipulated by the struggle and is not moved by the winds of chaos and adversity. A God who remains faithful even when our faith is fragile. It seems more difficult nowadays than ever to not worry about tomorrow, yet that is exactly what God has asked us to do (Matthew 6:34). For when we cast our burdens on Him (1 Perter 5:7), the troubles of the moment begin to fade. When we trust the plans He has for us, our fear begins to diminish. When we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), our focus becomes consumed by clarity. Trusting God is the only way. We can trust in His plan and in His eternally capable hands to uphold us. Yes, we may be in the midst of uncertainty, but we can be certain of one thing: God is faithful, and that is more than enough for our tomorrow. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 says, “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.”
