Do you remember the old hymn? It goes like this:
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever will be
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Great is Thy faithfulness, LORD, unto me
The faithfulness of God will help you through every circumstance because He said He would never leave you nor forsake you. If you believe and receive the faithfulness of God, He will step in and solve the problem, correct the situation, and deliver you out of the hand of the enemy.
He is faithful to bless you beyond measure because He will supply more than you need. Ephesians 3:20, Amplified Bible, Classic Edition, says, “Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams].”
Deuteronomy 7:9 speaks of God’s faithfulness: “Therefore know that The LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments” (New King James Version). Lamentations 3:22-23 tells us, “It is of The LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
His Faithfulness Does Infinitely Beyond
I have witnessed God’s faithfulness when people have attacked me. In times like those, I would just go to The LORD and tell Him, “Thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. You have helped me get out of the tightest situations— especially with people issues. You have been faithful all these years. You are faithful, and You will always be faithful. LORD, I need Your help in this situation. You know exactly what to do to make it work out perfectly. I receive that by faith, and I roll the care of it over onto You. I trust You and believe for Your very best.”
You can pray that same prayer and receive “far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]” (Ephesians 3:20, AMPC). The LORD is just that way. He does infinitely beyond what we dare ask or think. Why? Because He is faithful. GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS!
You are free to approach God’s throne right now and receive the help you need. Hebrews 4:16, AMPC, is a picture of God’s faithfulness: “Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace…that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].”
Thank You, LORD, for Your Faithfulness!
