CD#1625 “God’s Great Faithfulness and Our Response”
March 24, 2024 - VWC
Opening Thought:
As I was praying Sunday afternoon, the only word I got was “FAITHFULNESS”! After praying in the Spirit this is what came to my heart. We need to be reminded of just how faithful our God is to us everyday! But we too have from Him been given the measure of faith so we can properly respond to His faithfulness! Our God is the God of salvation and the God of all hope! We need to live with Bible hope in operation in our lives speaking by faith our salvation in and by His Word!
Text: Lamentations 3:21-26 (KJV) This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
Note V.23 “great is thy faithfulness” =
*Read 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 (KJV) Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
Note V.3 “But the Lord is faithful” =
*Read Romans 10:8-13 (KJV) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Note V.8 what's in your heart will get in your mouth! Remember back in the day when parents used to wash their kids' mouths out with soap? My grandmother Marine washed my dads mouth out with lye soap but it didn’t work because only the Lord Jesus Christ can wash the heart!
Close with Hebrews 10:22-23 (KJV) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
