Dear friend,
Has the Lord ever spoken to you in His Word? God inspired the Holy Bible and gets His representatives to preach It in this world. Have you ever hear that Word and sense that God was speaking to you? Did God ever promise you in that way of His favour in Jesus Christ? If so, you can rest assured that He "will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." (Josh. 1:5)
"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" (Num. 23:19) We often do not treat our own words seriously, but this is not the case with God. He never speaks carelessly, least when He makes promises. "The Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him. — He will ever be mindful of his covenant." (Deu. 7:9 - Psa. 111:5)
If God the Almighty cannot be trusted, then there is no one else that we can trust and count on in this universe. Then, there is no hope in this world for all the evils which we are beholding every day. But that is not what God reveals of Himself to us. As Christians, we must walk according to God's Word faithfully and trustingly. We walk confidently in this world testifying that our God is still in control and that Christ is coming back again to judge all things according to His own plan and timing. We do not waver in such things as found in God's Word.
The Gospel we have is a true comfort to us and we should be thankful for having faith in the Gospel promise of God. We should proclaim the Gospel loud and clear and live lives consistent with our faith. In this way, God is pleased to gathered His own out of darkness into His marvelous light. We are not surprised when there are those who reject the Gospel and consider us foolish, who believe. They may even persecute us in one form or another. We should remain steadfast in the faith.
If God will not fail us, should we not be set in our hearts not to fail Him, but be faithful unto Him all the way?
