God is faithful to those who love him
What kinds of blessings does God send our way?
Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and constantly loves those who love him and obey his commands.
Deuteronomy 7:9
About this week's Promise:
"You can count on meI will never let you down." That is faithfulness. Husbands and wives vow on their wedding day to be faithful to one another, devoted and committed to one another in all areas of marriage. It is a vow to be with one's mate, to stay with one's mate, and to build up one's mate. Again and again throughout the Bible, God holds faithfulness up as one of his foundational qualities and a foundational quality he expects from his people. There is nothing like the faithfulness of a mate, friends and family, and God to build our sense of security.
All scripture is from the New Living Translation (Tyndale House Publishers, 1996).
