Resting in the Faithfulness of God

God is awesome, God is whatever we need Him to be in our time of, in your good times, bad times, in the middle times. Yes God is, and if we concentrate on that when we are going through that sometimes the answer to our prayers are simply TRUST ME then we can know that He is still right there. The other morning I was outside writing my prayers and I asked God, " let me feel you," and this leaf moved and I sit there. Later it dawned on me that I was looking for the tree to bend and stand up again, but the leaf moved. That made it enough and I rested in the fact that not only did He let me feel Him it was instant. But I rest in His faithfulness knowing that even when it takes a little longer, that because we are His and not just saying but living it, when He seems far away He is faithful and just. So rest, so that you don't get weary in well doing.

1 Corinthians 1:1-9
When plans are frustrated or life just seems to fall apart in some way, people often wonder, Has God deserted me? Why hasn't He answered my prayers? The Bible offers encouragement for such times by assuring us of the Father's faithfulness: "Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments" (Deut 7:9).

Five attributes of God make this possible. First, He is omniscient, which means He knows everything, including our every need, thought, frailty, desire, and life situation in the past, present, and future. Next, the Lord is omnipotent, or all-powerful, so nothing is too hard for Him (Jer. 32:17). Then, He is omnipresent--since He exists everywhere at once, He is never beyond reach.

In addition, our heavenly Father cannot lie. Everything that He says is true and reliable. And lastly, God is unchanging. Our circumstances and the world around us may seem to be in a constant state of flux, and the Lord may even modify the way He chooses to interact with mankind in different generations. But His character is always the same. So when Scripture tells us that God is faithful, we can rest confidently upon that promise.

Circumstances can be painful. But even when situations seem overwhelming, believers can trust that our sovereign Lord knows all, is in control, and lovingly works everything for His children's good. We can rest confidently knowing that the unchanging God of all creation is taking care of us.
