Living with God 6

Lesson 6 (God's Promise, He is Faithful)

Deuteronomy7:8b and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of slaves, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Deuteronomy7:9 Therefore, know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.

Because God loves us He also sustains us. God is a being of faithfulness. The promise delivered to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was that this being would be "A God to you". This promise is also true for this generation.

There are many times in our lives when we struggle to recognise that we have a faithful God but that does not alter the fact that He is a faithful God. God's faithfulness is revealed in His mercy and by our obedience. He can say in scripture that He is faithful and will keep covenant but until we make an effort and move into that promise we will never know that He is faithful and yet by the same token God will keep us in the times when we do not adhere to His voice and command, it's in those moments His mercy extends to cover us until we are bought back like lost sheep into the fold.

In our lesson today we have to learn what it is to know God, to know that He has redeemed us, it is He who sustains us and it is He who is God.
Deuteronomy7:9 "Therefore, know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God"

Lord help me to draw on your faithfulness, to know you are God in all your fulness whatever that may mean. Help me Lord to trust you implicitly and to know when to walk, know when to run and know when to stay. Time, Lord is not important to you just obedience and trust in you the timeless being creator of all things.
