Text: Lamentation 3:20-25.
” 20 My soul hath them still in remembrance and is humbled in me. 21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the Lord‘s mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. “
No man can ever comprehend the faithfulness of God. The Faithfulness of God is not only constant but tough to understand. Faithfulness means strict and thorough in the performance of a duty. It means not reneging regardless of the circumstance. Faithfulness also means being true to your vow and promises. Deut. 7:9. Also means someone that is steadfast in their allegiance, affection, and love for another. It also means reliability and trustworthiness and dependability. God sticks to the performance of His Promises. Isa. 43:2.
From our above Text, Jeremiah was lamenting on the degradation in Israel, but when He remembered The Lord’s Faithfulness, his hope came alive.
This Pandemic has resulted in degradation all over the world but for us in Christ Jesus, we have a sure Hope in our Faithful God.
While hopelessness is a lot of those who do not know The Lord, we are not a people without Hope, our Hope needs to be renewed daily from The Word of God. The Faithfulness of God has preserved us from the jaws and danger of this COVID19 Pandemic. Psalm 91:3, 4, and 7 talks about God delivering us from every evil – This is God’s Faithfulness.
Lessons to Take Home:
1. God is faithful to His Plans and Promises for You. Ps. 23:4
2. God is True to His Character. He still God regardless of the happenings in the world. 2 Tim. 2:12-13
3. God has the Final Word about your matter. Not a doctor nor any expert has the final say; only God. 1 Sam. 1:19
4. Be rest assured, God will keep you throughout this period. The Lord has a duty to keep you alive. Jn. 6:37-39
In closing, regardless of what you are going through, be ever thankful that God’s Faithfulness has never failed and will never fail concerning you.
God Bless You!
