God's faithfulness is something so big, so perfect, so contrary to this world, and so beautiful that often I am blown away by it. Humbled by it. Encouraged by it.
I am ashamed at how often I doubt, only to be undeservingly swept away with countless reminders that God is indeed there and is still radically working despite my sin and skewed motives. Sometimes I get so frustrated at my lack of trust. Somehow I think I need to do something about my situation, and so I go about frantically trying to "make things right", or at least attempting to make things right. Ah! Why can't I just strive to live my life for Jesus and do things to please Him all while simply trusting. Easier said than done isn't it!
God's faithfulness....
Webster's defines faithful as "steadfast in affection or allegiance". It is pretty amazing that even though we constantly sin and make poor choices God remains the same in His love, forgivness, strength, and peace. Unconditionally loving, protecting, forgiving, chastising. Its beautiful.
My worry about finances, relationships, school, and life is unbelief and a lack of trust. I am so thankful though that God is constantly reminding me that He is always faithful.
"But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:30-33 ESV)
