Our God is so faithful!!! I truly did not fully understand what it meant when people say our God is faithful to us until this past semester. My first semester here at college I did not walk steadfast for the Lord. I tried to build up my treasures here on earth and my pure focus was on what this world could offer me. I felt stuck in this constant feeling of loneliness because I was trying to find my contentment in everything but God. However, my God showed me His everlasting faithfulness over winter break when I suddenly realized... that my God was still with me. He had never left me. That whole semester when I barely even acknowledged Him He stayed with me. When I was unfaithful He REMAINED faithful because that’s who He is. I had always believed the lie that when I fall short of His glory, He slowly backs away. NO, that is SOOO far from the truth. Psalm 139 say it perfectly when it says “Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.” This means that in our highs and in our lows we can’t escape the nearness of the Holy Spirit. YALL we are prisoners of Christ!! When I think of prisoners I think of no escape. You are locked in. And there is no better way to think of it in the same way. There is no escape from God’s presence when we accept Him to be our Savior!! He then showed me that my focus was set on this world and I was trying to live for the people in this world, and not eternity! Eternity with my Heavenly Father is my home. His joy is eternal. His peace is eternal. But the things of this world, that I was trying to grasp so tightly on, are temporary. When the Lord revealed this to me, He also pointed me to the truth. Which truly set me free. In Colossians it says to set our mind on things above and not the things in this world. I need to focus on living for my Heavenly Father, not only because His Word tells us to, but because that is where my worth, salvation, freedom, joy, and life is found!!!
