Can God Count On You

"For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him." (Gen. 18:19)

The book of Lamentations reminds us, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (3:22-23) Because we know that God is faithful, and that He never changes, we can rely on Him, we can trust Him to do what He has said.

The question, however, is can God rely on us. He chose Abraham because He knew His heart was faithful. God knew that He could rely on Abraham to do what He called him to do. God tested him and tried him, but He found Abraham to be a faithful man. God could ultimately fulfill the promises that He made to Abraham, because Abraham proved faithful.

Can God rely on you? Can He rely on me? Will we be found faithful in all that He has entrusted to us so that He can fulfill His promises? Be faithful today.
