“When I cannot understand my Father’s
leading,
And it seems to be but hard and cruel
fate,
Still I can hear that gentle whisper
ever pleading,
God is working, God is faithful.”
A.B. Simpson
If we are
unfaithful, He remains faithful for He cannot deny Himself.
God’s faithfulness does not depend on our faithfulness;
rather our faithfulness is demonstrated by obedience to God. The Scriptures are
full of people obedient to God’s leading, obedient to complete the journey to their Jerusalem. Despite their
faithfulness, many never see the anticipated outcome; instead, their obedience
prepares the way and plants the seeds for others. God does not always explain
His reasons or ways, but His Sovereignty prevails in goodness and grace.
Blackaby writes, “You will always be one step of
obedience away from the next truth God wants you to learn about Him.” God calls
each of us to follow Him in faithful obedience - whether we understand or not.
Often a partial belief in God limits one’s experiences with Him and can
interrupt His work through that person. In Christ, we find the grace that mends
our broken relationship with God, we experience the love that teaches us trust.
Faith is a gift from God, and obedience writes our ‘thank-you’ note.
Holy Father, Your goodness exceeds the
boundaries of time, of imagination. When I seek the easy path or demand my way,
when I see a need and look passed, when I hear Your whispers but pretend to be
busy – forgive my disobedience. Christ suffered the cross in His obedience to
You – for me. Let thankfulness for Your
unfailing love, uncounted blessings and unknown sacrifices define my obedience.
Great is Your faithfulness. – dho
Focus Point:
God does not
always explain His reasons or ways, but His Sovereignty prevails in goodness
and grace.
