1 Blessed is the man That walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

A study was published in the Journal of Basic and Applied Psychology about the act of lying. The experiment involved two strangers conversing with each other for 10 minutes, while their conversations were recorded. Although each subject believed they had been telling the truth, after reviewing the footage, the scientists found that 60 percent of all subjects lied within 10 minutes, and the average amount of lies during this time span was 2.92 per subject.

Why are so many people unfaithful?
unhappy
want a change
feel like they deserve more
retaliation/past hurt
But the real issue with unfaithfulness is that they have not come to know the Ever Faithful One!

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
lam3.22-23
In a world that the only faithfulness they know is to themselves...
We have the greatest example of faithfulness!

11 I will remember the works of the Lord: Surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is so great a God as our God?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: Thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
ps77.10-
Once again I’ll go over what GOD has done,
lay out on the table the ancient wonders;
I’ll ponder all the things you’ve accomplished,
and give a long, loving look at your acts.
13–15 O God! Your way is holy!

You’re the God who makes things happen;
you showed everyone what you can do—
You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble,

35 And they remembered that God was their rock, And the high God their redeemer.
ps78.
I am going to be faithful because he is FAITHFUL!
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Why are you faithful?
Because:
Every time I’m down, he picks me up!
When I am depressed, he lifts me up!
When I am worried, he gives me peace!
When I am hurting, he
