God Is Faithful!

One of the first scriptures that I underlined, still one of my faves and very encouraging to me is Deuteronomy 7:9 :
                                       
              " Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, 
                 keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who
                                      love Him and keep His commandments."


First, God tells me about who He is.  He is personal and wants a relationship.  The God of the Universe wants to me to know Him.  He is faithful and keeps His covenant, which is motivated out of His love and will be passed on to my family.  Second, God tells me my part.  I need to love Him and keep His commandments.  


Love comes from knowing someone.  The more I know about Him, the more I trust Him and love Him.  The more I want to stop doing those things that hurt Him.  I want to do those things that bring Him glory.  I want to be more like Him in my words, choices and actions.


With all that we have walked through and are walking through right now, I am clinging to the fact that  He sees me and He is faithful.  He sees the hurts and disappointments.  He sees the failures and successes.  He sees the dreams and hopes.  He hears the prayers and cries of my heart.  Not just mine, but my family's too. 


He has proven Himself faithful to me and my family so many times over the years.  It is because of those times that I can believe Him now.  I can stand on Who I know He is and His Word.  


I hope this scripture reminds you that God is with you and He is faithful!  He will not leave you or your family.  I also, hope it encourages you in your part of the relationship.  We are to love Him and keep His commandments. 


May God richly bless you today and prove Himself faithful in your life!  


Have a fab day!
