God is faithful

“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;” - Deuteronomy 7:9

Faithfulness is a rare trait. It seems to have gone out of vogue. It seems that people have a hard time be faithful to jobs, friendships, marriages, and even sports teams.

God calls for us to be faithful to Him at all times. Yet, because we still dwell in the flesh we often fall short of being faithful to Him. Doubts, fears, anxieties, and selfishness are among the reasons that we can at times lack for faithfulness.

God is never unfaithful. To those who love Him and keep His commandments He promises t be faithful for “a thousand generation,” in other words, forever.

How is God faithful? Here we see that He is faithful in two areas. He is faithful in keeping His covenants and He is faithful in His mercy. When we were saved God promised to save us forever. He promised to show us His mercy. Praise God for His faithfulness and His mercy to a thousand generations!
