THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD -- Deuteronomy 7:7-11 ; I Corinthians 1:9
We live in a day when things are changing on almost a daily basis. We have seen changes in technology. We have gone from rotary dial phones, to touch tone, to cell phones, to Apple watches. We have gone from 4 and 8-track tapes, to cassettes, to CD’s, to digital. We have gone from dial-up internet to today’s fiber optic service, and more. We have seen changes socially. Today, a person’s word is rarely their bond. Marital problems seem to be the norm rather than the exception to the rule. We see young children and teens who interact more with video games than they do with their parents and who, in fact, seem to have little to no regard for those parents. And we have seen parents who feel no parental duty to care for and discipline their children. Some don’t even want their children and forsake them through adoption or abortion. We have seen changes politically. Nationalism is declining, and globalism is growing in our world and in our nation (setting the stage for the one-world leader, the Antichrist). In the U.S., many would love to see us move from a democratic republic to socialism. And we have seen changes religiously. Many churches have moved from, “Preach the word” to social and “feel good” messages and tickling the ears of their hearers. Yet, in this time when more change takes place in a year than have taken place over the past hundreds of years, we serve a God who does not change! He is the faithful and true God. In Malachi 3:6 He said to Israel, “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Human nature cannot be relied upon, but we can trust in the God Whose faithfulness upholds the world at this very moment. Vs. 9 of our text says that God “is the faithful God.” The Hebrew word that is translated "faithful" means "to support, bear; to be firm, faithful; here, to be trusty." The Greek word means "trusty, trustworthy, worthy of confidence; of persons, one on whom we may rely; dependable."

By JWHWe live in a day when things are changing on almost a daily basis. We have seen changes in technology. We have gone from rotary dial phones, to touch tone, to cell phones, to Apple watches.
