Deuteronomy 7:9. Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.

God is faithful!  That is something we should always cling to no matter what we are facing in life!  Focus on Him!  Focus on His character and His Word!  Your faith will grow as you grow in your relationship with Him.  There’s going to be hurt and disappointment in life, but you can count on the fact that God is faithful and He will do what He has promised!

Remember the story of Thomas and how he said he wouldn’t believe that Jesus had appeared to the other disciples unless he saw the scars in Jesus’ hands and feet?  Matthew 20: 29, Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me?  Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”  Even though you haven’t seen Him, you believe and I would like to challenge you today to do the same with your circumstances.  Believe in His goodness!  Believe in His love and kindness toward you and believe the promises He gives you!  Don’t wait for your answer to get here to believe Him for it!  I know it is hard!  I can’t even begin to tell you just how much I understand, but we must choose every day to believe in His Character and His goodness and love!  You can count on the fact that God sees and knows what is best for you and He is working.  You can also count on the fact that the closer you get to any breakthroughs in your life the harder satan will work to discourage you!  Hold on to your faith in God!  Trust Him and serve Him while you wait!  Stand strong!  Believe in His faithfulness!  You are His Warrior and He will carry you when you need to be carried and He will give you the strength to stand when you need to stand!  Don’t give up now!  Trust Him, knowing that HIs best is yet to come!
