Faithfulness

God's faithfulness to humanity is astounding; filled with love and compassion. This kind of faithfulness is desperately needed in our world today. The word translated as "faithfulness" Galatians 5 contains two key components: trust and obedience. When it comes to our own faithfulness our trust often fades before obedience takes root; but, this is where God intervenes. For, what we cannot do on our own, the Spirit of God works within us. This kind of faithfulness is the Sprit-grown endurance to keep trusting God enough to follow in obedience.
