Series: Lifestyle of Faithfulness
Through the week we have been learning about ‘faithfulness’ and how necessary it is to build it, how God is faithful to reward us.
It is necessary to become serious about our faithfulness towards God, relationships we’re placed in, institution He has placed us in.
When we have loyalty, devotion and commitment it leads to a lifestyle of faithfulness.
God makes a promise in this verse about showing Himself faithful.
Question: Is faithfulness conditional? Is God not going to be faithful even if we are not faithful to Him? Ans: No, God does not stop being faithful. But we wouldn’t be able to experience the fullness of God’s faithfulness.
We stop receiving the benefits of the relation because of lack of integrity or loyalty towards it.
Hence, it is necessary to cultivate faithfulness in our lives so that we can experience God’s faithfulness.
It was not because God hated Ananias and Sapphira that they died, but they chose to disconnect from the love, faithfulness and grace God had offered them by lying.
Many times we position ourselves in the wrong way.
The book of Ruth explains instances where the men left Bethlehem and reached Moab. However, they died in Moab irrespective of prosperity in the land. As long as they were in Bethlehem, though there was famine, they did not die because they were positioned under the faithfulness of God.
When we position ourselves under God, we will experience His faithful towards us and He will raise us up!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
