God is Faithful to Me - Love Worth Finding - June 20

June 20, 2023 – God is Faithful to Me

Sermon: 1444 Faithfulness, Part 1

Pray Over This

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Ponder This

All my life I wanted to go to Yellowstone National Park. One day some years ago, we went. Do you know the one thing I wanted to see more than anything else at Yellowstone? Old Faithful. There are many other geysers and some of them are more spectacular. But let me tell you about Old Faithful: Every sixty-five minutes, there she goes. You can almost set your watch on it.

Faithfulness is a quality all of us admire. But God doesn’t just admire it; He requires it. First Corinthians 4:2 says, “It is required in stewards that one be found faithful.” No matter how much ability you have, how much personality you have, how much intelligence you have, or how hard you work, if you can’t be depended on, you are no good. What do we mean by faithfulness? Integrity, honesty, trustfulness, loyalty. Can you be counted on? Are you a faithful person?

The God who saved me is the God who keeps me. Isn’t God faithful? His mercies are new every morning. (See Lamentations 3:22-23.) His compassions, they fail not. Thank God that “great is thy faithfulness.” Now, if God has been so faithful to me, I need to return that faithfulness and be faithful to Him.
