Aren’t you grateful that your Christian life does not hinge entirely upon you? If our joy and contentment as well as our success as Christians hinged on our steadfast adherence to our beliefs and values, we would suffer a tumultuous existence! The truth is, that despite all God has made available to us we often fail Him. Regardless of our best intentions, we fail to follow through with commitments we have made.
It is true that throughout the Gospels Christ often stated: “Be it done to you according to your faith.” Our faith is the key that unlocks many of the divine promises. Those who believe little, receive little. Yet God Himself always remains faithful. It is His nature to be so. He always stands by His word. He is never distracted or unprepared to follow through with His promises.
Our great confidence is that, though we may repeatedly fail our Lord and fall short of our commitments, Christ is our sure Rock. He brings the one consistent, stability in our lives. Everything else in our life may change, but He remains the same. Aren’t you grateful that you can always count on Christ’s faithfulness in your life?
