He Is Faithful

“Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed.” Psalm 119:116 NIV

There was a time a few years ago when I was discouraged and heartbroken. I didn’t know how we were going to make it through the hard time we were facing. In Las Vegas our neighborhood edged the Red Rock desert and one morning I went for a walk. With worship music loaded on my iPod, I set out to pray and breathe in the presence of God. As the sun was rising over Red Rock Canyon, it was so beautiful that I almost dropped to my knees. Just then the song “Great is Thy Faithfulness” began to play.  I heard God’s whisper in my heart, “Hold on. Your hopes are not lost. I am faithful to complete what I have started in you. I will sustain you through this and strengthen you in it. My faithfulness knows no end.” It was a turning point for me. I carried that promise through a time that got harder long before it got better.

Hold on, my friend, your hopes are not lost. 

Jesus is faithful to complete what He started in you. 

He will sustain you and strengthen you in it. 

God’s faithfulness knows no end.
