He Remains Faithful

HE Remains Faithful

Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

Do you feel as if your prayers are never answered?  Are you finding yourself in a waiting mode?  When hard times come, do you really trust in The Lord?

First of all, it’s important to realize just how much God loves you.  To discover His love, the journey takes you to the foot of the old rugged Cross.  For there a high price was paid for YOU!  You are His most prized possession and HE holds you ever so close to His heart.  Therefore, we can know He desires what’s best for His Children and yes, we can even trust Him to be on time!!  For when we have accepted that Love and live a “surrendered life”, then surely we know we can trust Him with the answers to our desperate cries.

Do you realize that God gives immediate responses to your prayers?  Sometimes we see the Lord’s answer right away and even though we don’t like it, sometimes the Lord’s answer is “wait”!  Now I do admit, waiting does stretch our faith just a tad.  But do you know the “waiting period” is really for our own good!  It’s during that time when God is building our faith and when we develop a simple child-like trust in Him.  I have found the waiting is well worth it, for sometimes to my surprise, God’s answer is much greater than anything I ever anticipated.

Then, that means when we face difficulties in life, we should never spend useless time worrying and fretting over an uncontrollable circumstance.  For to do so, brings on more pain and sorrow, making life absolutely miserable for ourselves and others around us. And actually, this is a form of manipulating God, which can be a very dangerous thing!   So instead, when trials come let us be quick to grab our Bible, look up scriptures that are dear to our heart and meditate upon God’s promises and His faithfulness to us.  This is an act of Trust and that’s when we can begin thanking Him for His perfect outcome.

Here’s a good scripture to remind us that we can Trust our Lord in ALL things… “Even if we are unfaithful, HE remains faithful, For HE cannot deny who HE is.”  (2 Tim 2:13)

Yes, God loves us deeply and has our best at heart!  Therefore, we can rest assured that His plans and His timing are ever so perfect!  And just at that chosen moment when He decides it’s time for it all to come together, no devil in hell or man on earth can keep us from what our God desires for us!  As for me, I am just so thankful that God doesn’t always give me what I ask for!!

In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. (Psalm 25:1) Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. (Psalm 9:10) I will say of the Lord, “He is My Refuge and My Fortress, My God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:2) Therefore…Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to YOU I entrust my life. (Psalm 143:8)
