God Attribute, 24

 

~ Faithful ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Scripture  ~  This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.  The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:21-23).

 

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; with my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations” (Psalm 89:1).

 

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23).

 

“The Lord is trustworthy in all He promises and faithful in all He does (Psalm 145:13).

 

The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

 

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

 

Comment  ~  It is important to realize that His faithfulness is constant regardless of our actions.  If we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny Himself” (2 Timothy 2:13).

 

Jesus Christ, right now, is sitting on the right hand of God the Father, representing you.   Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.  For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted” (Hebrews 2:17-18).

What A Story!

 

~ Do You Really Understand Independence Day? ~

 

Prayer ~ “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12a).

 

“Eternal God, stir Thou our minds and stimulate our hearts with a high sense of patriotism as we approach the Fourth of July.  May all that this day symbolizes renew our faith in freedom, our devotion to democracy, and redouble our efforts to keep a government of the people, by the people, and for the people truly alive in our world.

 

“Grant that we may highly resolve on this great day to dedicate ourselves anew to the task of ushering in an era when good will shall live in the hearts of a free people, justice shall be the light to guide their feet, and peace shall be the goal of humankind: to the glory of Thy holy name and the good of our Nation and of all mankind.

 

“Amen” (Congressional Prayer by Chaplain, Reverend Edward G. Latch on Wednesday, July 3, 1974). 

 

 

Comment 1 ~ If ever there was a time when our nation (United States) and the world needed prayer it is this year. 

 

Comment 2 ~ There is a secular movie (documentary) that I believe every American should watch.  It is available from many libraries and I’m sure many other places (as well as on Amazon for purchase).  Monumental: In Search of America’s National Treasure” with Kirk Cameron (2012, PG, 1:24).
