FAITHFUL LOVE AND TRUTH

Mondays get a bad rap while Fridays get all the love.   Can I just tell ya something?  Life can be overwhelming for all of us regardless of which day of the week it is.  

We all have those days where nothing seems to be coming together like we planned.  And, our own perspective is highly influential in how we experience our day from the moment we wake up.

Our spiritual life is not immune to the kind of stinking thinking which can turn your day from a positive to a negative experience.  The instant discouragement begins to creep up on our outlook, we look away from God.  Satan then takes the opportunity to whisper lies in our ears.  We may be tempted to begin to think God asks too much of us and expects us to be a perfect, well-behaved Christian who never who never gets to have fun. Again... stinking thinking. And, ultimately, when we know God, we know better.

Consider the life of David, a man who God said was a man after His own heart.  David knew God's ways show faithful love and truth to those who chase after Him.  David was far from perfect and a sinner like the rest of us.  But, the longer David walked with God, the more convinced he became that God keeps His promises and knows what is best for us.  David knew God to be a promise keeper regardless of the difficulties or failures he faced in life.  God's commandments, plans and purposes for us, and timing are always the best.  God always has His best in mind for each of us.  

These biblical truths and principals are part of the nature and character of God.  The longer we walk with God, the more clearly we see that everything He does is done in a perfect love because God IS love.  

His faithful love and truth are beyond question or doubt.  Could that be said about our faithfulness to Him?  The depth of our faith is tied directly to our level of humble surrender to God's faithfulness.  We must allow a vulnerability within ourselves by taking our focus from ourselves and our own preferences and trusting in the faithful love and truth of God.

Prayer
Father, from the 10K foot view, I know in my heart that your will, your plans and purposes for me, and your timing are always way better than anything I could ever cook up on my own.  Give me the courage to trust in your faithful love and truth every day.  Amen.
