To be faithful is to be “true to one’s word, promises, vows, etc.” and “reliable, trusted or believed” (Webster’s Unabridged). Therefore, because God is faithful you can trust him to keep his promises and do what he says he will do. Do you doubt his faithfulness? Here is a verse you can memorize and on which you can meditate.
Lamentations 3:22-23
“The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” New Living Translation
“Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” New International Version
“God's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness!” The Message
“It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is your stability and faithfulness.” The Amplified Bible
Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” New King James Version
