An Ebeneezer in Word

Romans 8: 6
To set the mind on flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

So I ask you this question: Where do you choose to place your thoughts?
  • On your own disappointments, pain and hardship?
  • Or on the truth that God is Faithful?
I know from experience that if you ask God for wisdom he will give it to you (see James 1: 5).

Just this past Sunday I asked God to open the scriptures for me concerning the desert place(s) of temptation (based on Luke 4) . He gave me this teaching to remember: God is Faithful.

In other words, God is Faithful in the good times and in the bad.
God is Faithful no matter what kind of life circumstance I may find myself facing each day. God is Faithful even in the desert places of my life where I am dry and thirsty, hungering for more, and daily tested concerning my obedience to his word. God is Faithful.

Go ahead. Make it perfect and confess God is - - - - - - - -!

Faithful?
Faithful
Faithful
Faithful
Faithful
Faithful.
Faithful!

I think it's that way. We question at first. We believe. We understand it's an absolute truth (period) and then we Rejoice!
