GOD WILL NOT FAIL YOU….
I love those words. God ensures us over and over again, that He will NOT fail us!
Many times we go through trials and tribulations in life. We loose loved one’s. Spouses walks out.
We go through bad financial times. We loose jobs. We experiences losses. Our health fails us.
Friends betray us. And we wonder why. What have I done? What is wrong with me? Am I being punished?
Jesus never said that life will be easy or without pain. But He promised to always be there for us during these times.
He will walk us through it. Even when we feel at times that we are all alone and can’t face another day.
God is waiting for us. To call on Him. His our Helper in every need. He will never leave you!
God desires your fellowship
We were created for fellowship. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord
(1 Corinthians 1:9, NIV). Before sin entered the world in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were more than just
caretakers of God’s creation. They were part of that creation and enjoyed sweet communion with God in the garden. God
didn’t change in His desires; man did. He still wants our fellowship (Revelations 3:20). Furthermore, you were created for
His glory: “Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them” (Isaiah 43:7,
NLT).
He even takes delight in you! (Zephaniah 3:17).
God has promised never to leave you alone
“I will never leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5, NIV). For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon
you”(Hebrews 13:5, NLT). Upon His return to heaven, Jesus vowed the same thing to His grieving disciples, “No, I will not
abandon you as orphans—I will come to you” (John 14:18, NLT). Not only would He return one day, but in the meantime
He promised a special gift, His presence through the Holy Spirit, to His followers: That’s my parting gift to you. Peace. I
don’t leave yo u the way you’re used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft,” John 14:25-27 (MSG).
His Spirit is always with us!
God’s track record is impeccable
God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to
act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?(Numbers 23:19, NLT). God is always faithful.
God is not finished with you yet
These trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests gold and
purifies it—and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold; so if your faith remains strong after being tried in
the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of his return (1 Peter 1:7).
And like a potter, He plans to keep shaping you to make you more like Him. God’s character doesn’t change.
And He’s not finished with any of us (Philippians 1:6). He wants to bring good out of everything that happens to us
(Romans 8:28).
God loves you more than you can possibly understand. He cares about what you are going through. And He wants you to
take it up before Him. You don’t have to face things alone. With God, all things are possible.
His our healer. He restores us and give us new life. So whatever you do, don’t give up.
Hold fast to His promises. Call on His name.
He will NOT fail you!
