The faithful one.

It's so hard for me to trust in a completely faithful God when all I know is people who, regardless of how much they try can never be completely faithful. 

Lately everything I am reading and all my conversations about him are taking me back to one thing. 

He is the faithful one. 

Of course I know in my head this is true but often my circumstance looks as if it could be otherwise. 

Sometimes things don't work they way I assumed they would. 

Often things go completely wrong. 

It looks in my natural eyes like this is completely not where I am supposed to be right now. 

What I know that God has clearly said will happen is not at all happening. 

I have hard seasons and I find myself far away from him and thinking I could not possibly outwork my calling while being this person. 

In the midst of that season I find myself in church at a young adults event. 

It's after the message and my pastor begins to point people out and encourage them, give words of wisdom and speak into their lives. 

I Love it when he does this, I could listen for hours and watch as God one by one is confirming things in people through what he speaks over their lives. 

I automatically disqualify myself as one of those people, things like that don't happen to me. 

Then he says my name, I automatically want to be invisible, but then he says something I have not been able to stop thinking about. 

"One thing God cannot do is lie, and he cannot, not be faithful to those who are faithful." 

He went on to encourage me about being consistent and continueing to be faithful towards God. 

I had never planned on physically going anywhere apart from the house or not  being consistent in what I was currently doing, however something very slight had began to change in my heart. 

I was doubting things God had been saying because it looked like it wasn't going to happen. 

I was questioning his faithfulness because what I could see was not what I expected his faithfulness to look like. 

I was wavering in my trust in him. 

But he is still faithful. 

It's impossible for him not to be faithful. 

He cannot break a promise or not do what he has said.

He is not a man that he should lie, and he does not change his mind. 

What he had said did not change once. 

He didn't change his mind or give up. 

It's more just a matter of me learning that regrarldless of what things look like now. 

If he said it, he will do it.
