We often sing,
"Great is Thy faithfulness,
 Great is Thy faithfulness.
  Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
 All I have needed Thy hands have provided.
 Great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me."

All through Scripture we read of the faithfulness of our Lord and God.
Since He is Love, we can count on His faithful love in the direst of
circumstances.  I'd like to share with you some of the verses telling of His
faithfulness.

"Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who
keeps His covenant and His loving-kindness to a thousandth generation with
those who love Him and keep His commandments."  Deuteronomy 7:9

"Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to
all that He promised; not one word has failed of all His good promise, which
He promised through Moses His servant."  1 Kings 8:56
(Did you catch that, 'NOT ONE WORD HAS FAILED', nor will it ever.)

"Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, extend to the skies, and Your
faithfulness to the clouds."  Psalm 36:5

"God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord."  1 Corinthians l:9  (Notice here the "you"?  You
personally were called by our faithful God into fellowship with Christ.)

Listen to this verse in the Amplifed Bible and be assured,
"God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His
promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into
companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."

"...The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen [you] and set you on a firm
foundation and guard you from the evil [one]."  11Thessalonians 3:3
Amplified Bible

"So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we
cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is
reliable (sure) and faithful to His word."  Hebrews 10:23 Amplified Bible

Because He is faithful, we are secure!  We can depend upon our reliable,
trustworthy, constant, gracious, loving Savior and Lord.  So with the
Psalmist we joyfully say,

"I will sing of the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord forever; with my
mouth will I make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation.
For I have said, Mercy and loving-kindness will You establish in the very
heavens [unchangeable and perpetual].  Psalm 89:1-2 Amplified Bible

Praise Him forever.  Amen
