God is Faithful Because He is Good

Devotional Reading: But your loyal love, LORD , extends to the skies; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
Psalms 36:5 CEB

Looking back at our lifes since cradle, we may want to see uncoordinated events that doesn’t seem to make sense likely come to mind. But when we take a closer look we will see the finger prints of God all over the marks of our life. Where we were in need and He supplied, where we were ,,divinely protected from an accident and so on.

Throughout human history, God’s faithfulness is tied to His goodness. God is faithful because He is good and He has remained consistent. God in His goodness willingly commits Himself to us, knowing that we will break His heart. Yet, He chooses us and chooses to stay by our side. We have strayed and abandoned Him for our own desires, yet He keeps His covenant of love.

Don’t for a minute get caught in the lie that God won’t be there. He has spoken that never will He leave you nor forsake you. He is with you always and has engraved you on the palm of His hand. He is merciful and righteous. His faithfulness reaches to the skies. He is faithful and true. Never once has He failed His people. You can live in confidence that God has your back and best in mind.

When the world threatens to turn its back on you, turn to Jesus. When others move away, He comes to you, right in the middle of your day. This is who He is, He is good and because He is good, you can count on that certainty. He is full of compassion and rich in mercy. He sees your heart and feels your pain. He is not distant. He is closer than you know. 

Prayer and Confession
Lord I believe I am chosen and I believe you have engraved in the palm of your hands. I believe you stand by me in the midst of uncertainties. Thank you Jesus, Amen!
