Feelings and Faithfulness

Although we may momentarily waver in our faith and even question God's love for us, God is forever faithful. Even when we doubt His promises, or do not feel close to Him, or choose to sin, God's love for us reaches to the heavens, and His faithfulness “reaches beyond the clouds” (Psalm 36:5). We can be sure God will do all He said He would do (1 Thessalonians 5:24; 2 Thessalonians 3:3). His flawless character backs up his promises. In those times when we do not feel close to God, let us remind ourselves that His feelings for us never change. It is not a matter of how we feel at the moment, but the fact of the rock-solid faithfulness of God. Trusting God's faithfulness dispels all fearfulness. — Psalm 36:5
