Faithfulness

I was reminded again this morning of the faithfulness of God.

Deuteronomy 7:9 says: "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."

God is faithful but am I? What does it mean for me to be faithful??

As I was pondering these questions, here are a few things that came to me:

1. Believe...that He loves me.
2. Walk...in the truth He shows me.
3. Hope...in His promises.
4. Delight/rejoice...in His goodness.
5. Keep...my heart for Him alone.

I wish I could say I do all of these all the time. I don't. I often fall far short. I get distracted with other things. I think He doesn't really care. I see His goodness for other people but for me?? Really? For me?

"To the faithful you show yourself faithful..." 2 Samuel 22:26a (NIV)

Maybe the problem isn't with God's faithfulness...maybe it's with mine...
