Great Is Your Faithfulness

"Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness."
Today we will discuss these 4 commands from King David in Psalm 37.

Great Is Your Faithfulness

"Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness."

(Psalm 37:3)

Notice with me that King David gives four clear commands to the child of God in this one verse from Psalm 37.

We are to trust in the LORD. It is always great advice and wise on our part to trust God. No matter what comes our way, God is faithful; He can be trusted; He is worthy of us putting all our hope in Him.

Second, we are to do good. In hard times especially, it is more difficult to do good. But it is in those hard times that we can make our greatest contribution, because it will arise from faith and sheer obedience.

Next, we are to dwell in the land. We are to settle where God puts us. We can rest in Him and abide where He places our feet, where He allows us to lay our head.

Finally, in this same verse, David instructs us to feed on God's faithfulness. While writing this devotion, it occurred to me that I had never really noticed this before. Sure, I have read it before, because I have read through the Bible many times. But this part really jumped out to me recently. We can feast on God's faithfulness, because He is there for us. He sees. He knows. He cares. He will be there, come what may. So, do not just acknowledge God's faithfulness, but feed on it; allow His goodness to satisfy your soul in good times and bad. Great is the LORD's faithfulness to us!

Maverick City's song "Promises" contains a powerful message for followers of Jesus. It is a message about the faithfulness of God.

I encourage you to watch the attached video and read the lyrics:

God of Abraham
You're the God of covenant and faithful promises
Time and time again
You have proven
You'll do just what You said

Though the storms may come
And the winds may blow, I'll remain steadfast
And let my heart learn when You speak a word,
It will come to pass

Great is Your faithfulness to me
Great is Your faithfulness to me
From the rising sun to the setting same
I will praise Your name
Great is Your faithfulness to me, oh

Yeah, God from age to age
Though the earth may pass away
Your word remains the same, yeah
Your history can prove
There's nothing You can't do
You're faithful and true

Though the storms may come
And the winds may blow, I'll remain steadfast
And let my heart learn when You speak a word,
It will come to pass

Oh oh, Your faithfulness
It never runs out, it never runs out (yeah)
Oh oh, Your faithfulness, oh oh
It never runs out, it never runs out
It never runs out, it never runs out

I put my faith in Jesus
My anchor to the ground
My hope and firm foundation
He'll never let me down, no
