Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

God is faithful, by whom you were called
into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9 ESV

The One who called us into fellowship with His Son... is faithful... 
Faithful to help us maintain fellowship with Him...

He is faithful in the area of temptation...

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability,
but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape,
that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV

He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear... 
He will not leave us without an escape...
Remember His great faithfulness in the time of temptation...

He is faithful in the process of sanctification... in growing us up... maturing our faith...

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely,
and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 ESV

With all He calls me to do... remembering His great faithfulness... is essential...

Apart from Him... I can do nothing...

"...Whoever abides in me and I in him,
he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me
you can do nothing. ..." ---Jesus
John 15:5 ESV

What He began... He must complete...

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you
will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6 ESV

Trusting His great faithfulness... 
I allow Him... to do through me...
only what He can... because I can't...

Listening for the next step... I take it...

But... He is the One responsible... 
for establishing... and guarding... 
what He began in me... and you... 

But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you
and guard you against the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 ESV

Even in our faithlessness... He is great in faithfulness...

...if we are faithless, he remains faithful ---
for he cannot deny himself.

His Spirit in us... He cannot deny... 
even when we fail in faithfulness...

When we do fail... He is faithful to forgive...

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 ESV

His great faithfulness... should inspire... encourage... our own faithfulness...

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for he who promised is faithful.

Today... in taking steps... of faith...
I remember... His... great... faithfulness...
and my need... for it...
