Devotions: Faithful is He

 

Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

1 Thessalonians 5:24 New American Standard Bible 1995

 

Tuesday I talked about God’s sanctifying work of perfecting us and our role in submitting to and working with God in it. We can have faith and hope in this process because God is faithful. He ALWAYS does what He promises and He has promised to work in us until we are perfect. As long as a believer is on earth God is working in them. That is a promise. He chose us, He is working in us, and He WILL make it happen. Of course we won’t actually be perfect while on earth, that final step happens when we reach heaven, but we will get there. God does not give up on anyone for any reason. He is eternally patient, faithful and loving, and He is completely invested in the process. He gave His Son so that this process would be possible; He is not going to throw in the towel just because it is hard. He knows the end game and is committed to making it happen. More than any person in history He is trustworthy. We can trust Him to fulfill His promises. We can trust His love for us and commitment to do what He has said. He is also powerful enough to change even the blackest, most stubborn heart. Nothing is too bad for Him to fix. No person is too far gone for Him to bring back. No mistake is too wrong for Him to right.

Do you believe and trust in God’s perfecting work in you? Do you have faith in His promises? Ask Him to help you trust Him, to show you evidence of His faithfulness to you and others. Rest assured in His love for and commitment to you.
