Father God,

I’m grateful that the plans that You have for me are good. I trust You with my life, God, because I know that You care for me.

Perfect Faithfulness

The Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you against the evil one.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

W hat do you think of when you consider the word faithful? Geysers like Old Faithful? Friends or family members who are consistently “there” for you? Encarta World English Dictionary defines faithful as “consistently trustworthy and loyal, especially to a person, a promise, or duty.” Yet even the most faithful of family members or friends sometimes falter in faithfulness, depending on their own life situations. Perhaps having experienced the disloyalty of others, you wonder if it is possible to ever find someone who is faithful.

The apostle Paul makes a strong case for the faithfulness of God. He encouraged his readers to rely on God to protect them against the harmful actions of “worthless and evil people” (3:2), actions inspired by the primary enemy of Christians—the “evil one” (Satan). In a time of persecution, a time when the believers in and around Thessalonica probably felt powerless, this was undoubtedly a comforting message.

As you prepare for sleep this evening, meditate on the faithfulness of God. What events in your life have more clearly revealed His faithfulness? As you think about these things, remember that because of your relationship to God through Christ Jesus, God is on your side. He will never waver in His devotion and loyalty to you.
