I was just discussing this verse with a friend yesterday evening having found it true through the years and then this is what I find this morning to read. "Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto me!"
Fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness
If we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
2 Timothy 2:13There are times we actually think we are the ones hanging onto God. The truth is
that God is the One hanging onto us! He is the faithful One.
That’s why we sing: “Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning, new mercies
I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me!”
You can trust Him, for He is faithful. If we allow His Spirit to bear fruit in
our lives, He actually increases our ability to trust and have faith in Him.
As the Spirit reminds us of God’s promises, our heart is renewed—and we find
we have the faith to step out and obey for His kingdom.
“Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that
through them you may participate in the divine nature…” (2 Peter 1:4).
He quickens the Word of God to our minds and shows us the way to go.
“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard
through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). Faithfulness to God is a fruit of
the Spirit, and it increases as we draw closer to Him.Further Reading
