God is Faithful

Faithful= consistent, trustworthy, unwavering, promise keeper = firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty; conscientious; given with strong assurance; binding <a faithful promise>; true to the facts

All of our definitions of faithfulness are in a human context and point of reference. God's faithfulness is absolute, unchanging and not dependent on my faithfulness.

Psalm 33:1-5 Psalm 89:1-8 God's faithfulness is something that will always prove true. (100%)

Who do I trust? Francis Chan (www.yourlivingmanna.com) God is Faithful Hebrew for "faithful" indicates steady support; something I can lean on

1 Cor 1:7-9 He called me and sustains me 2Tim 2:11-13 He is faithful regardless of my failures. I don't need to be afraid 2 Tim 1:7 1 John 1:9 Faithful and just 1 Thes 5:23-24 All of me (body, soul, spirit) is made new. Lam 3:21-24 source of hope

Sometimes He Calms the Storm-Scott Krippayne

All who sail the sea of faith Find out before too long How quickly blue skies can grow dark And gentle winds grow strong

Suddenly fear is like white water Pounding on the soul Still we sail on knowing That our Lord is in control

Sometimes He calms the storm With a whispered "peace be still" He can settle any sea But it doesn't mean He will

Sometimes He holds us close And lets the wind and waves go wild Sometimes He calms the storm And other times He calms His child

He has a reason for each trial That we pass through in life And though we're shaken We cannot be pulled apart from Christ

No matter how the driving rain beats down On those who hold to faith A heart of trust will always Be a quiet peaceful place
