FAITHFUL
BREAD
4 He is
the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who
does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deuteronomy
32:4 (NIV)
9 Know
therefore that the Lord your God
is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand
generations of those who love him and keep his commands. 10 But those who hate him he will
repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face
those who hate him. Deuteronomy 7:9-10
(NIV)
21 Yet
this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your
faithfulness. 24 I say
to myself, “The Lord is my
portion; therefore I will wait for him.” 25 The Lord
is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; 26 it is good to wait quietly for
the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:21-26 (NIV)
4 For
the word of the Lord is right and
true; he is faithful in all he does. 5 The Lord
loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. Psalms 33:4-5 (NIV)
11 For as
high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear
him; 12 as far
as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a
father has compassion on his children, so the Lord
has compassion on those who fear him. Psalms 103:11-13 (NIV)
7 O
Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing
love and with him is full redemption. Psalms
130:7 (NIV)
3 But
the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
4 We
have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the
things we command. 5 May
the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance. 2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 (NIV)
5 Blessed
is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them-- the Lord,
who remains faithful forever. Psalms
146:5-6 (NIV)
23 May
God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole
spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 The
one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (NIV)

“God tries our faith so that we may try His
faithfulness.” Anonymous
“The basis of trusting Him is
seeing Him as our totally able and faithful Father.” Sylvia Gunter
“We came into this
world wretched, miserable, and undone creatures, in cruel bondage to sin and
Satan, under guilt and under wrath, hostile toward God—the fountain of
blessedness—and in a state of condemnation leading to everlasting destruction.
But when a man is converted, he is brought out of that state of woe and misery
into a sure title to glory, honor, and peace forever. When once a man is
converted, all this blessedness that we have heard of is his; he has an
absolute right to it. God’s work is accomplished for it; His faithful promise
is given.” Jonathan
Edwards
“Want of
trust is at the root of almost all our sins and all our weaknesses, and how
shall we escape it but by looking to Him and observing His faithfulness. The man who holds God’s faithfulness will not
be foolhardy or reckless, but will be ready for every emergency.” Hudson Taylor
“God wants us to
reconnect with the powerful and timeless things He has done in the past,
enabling us to build on them rather than always starting over. He not only desires that we be encouraged by
remembering His past faithfulness, but also to realize that the promises and anointing’s
released during those seasons are still available today.” Dutch
Sheets
“We
should follow Christ in simplicity and faith, because the paths in which He
leads us all end in glory and immortality.
It is true they may not be smooth paths – they may be covered with sharp
flinty trials, but they lead to the ‘city with foundations, whose architect and
builder is God.’ ‘All the ways of the
Lord are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of His
covenant.’ Let’s put full trust in our
Leader, since we know that, come prosperity or adversity, sickness or health,
popularity or contempt, His purpose shall be worked out, and that purpose shall
be pure, unmingled good to every heir of mercy…..His dear love will make us far
more blessed than those who sit at home and warm their hands at the world’s
fire.” Charles H. Spurgeon
“So deeply rooted in
our hearts is unbelief, so prone are we to it that while all confess with the
lips that God is faithful, no man ever believes it without an arduous struggle.
... Certainly, whenever God thus recommends his Word, he indirectly rebukes our
unbelief, the purport of all that is said being to eradicate perverse doubt
from our hearts. For unbelief is so
deeply rooted in our hearts, and we are so inclined to it, that not without
hard struggle is each one able to persuade himself of what all confess with the
mouth: namely, that God is faithful. ... Surely, as often as God commends his
Word to us, he indirectly rebukes us for our unbelief, for he has no other
intention than to uproot perverse doubts from our hearts.” John Calvin
“‘On
whom dost thou trust?’ We can answer boldly, ‘We trust in him whose power will
never be exhausted, whose love will never cease, whose kindness will never
change, whose faithfulness will never be sullied, whose wisdom will never be
nonplussed, and whose perfect goodness never can know a diminution.’” Charles
H. Spurgeon
“In God’s
faithfulness lies eternal security.”
Corrie ten Boom
“Though men are
false, God is faithful.” Matthew Henry
“Believer, until
you can drain the ocean dry of omnipotence and break the towering mountains of
almighty strength into pieces, you never need to be afraid. Don’t think that the strength of a human
being shall ever be able to overcome the power of God. As long as the earth’s huge pillars stand,
you have enough reason to remain firm in your faith. The same God who directs the earth in its
orbit, feeds the burning furnace of the sun, and trims the lamps of heaven, has
promised to supply you with daily strength.
While He is able to uphold the universe, don’t even dream that He will
prove unable to fulfill His own promises.
Remember what He did in ages past, in the former generations. Remember how He spoke, and it was done; how
He commanded, and it stood fast. Shall
He that created the world grow weary? He
hangs the world upon nothing; shall He who does this be unable to support His
children? Shall He be unfaithful to His
word for want of power? Who is it that
restrains the tempest? Doesn’t He ride
upon the wings of the wind, and make the clouds His chariots, and hold the
ocean in the hollow of His hand? How can
He fail you? When He has put such a
faithful promise as this on record, will you for a moment indulge the thought
that He has out promised Himself, and gone beyond his power to fulfill? Ah, no!
You cannot doubt any longer.” Charles
H. Spurgeon
