“I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your word to Your servant.”
—Psalm 119:75-76
SCRIPTURE TEACHES that God is always faithful to His children, even in their loneliest moments of trial and affliction. No matter how dark the storm clouds of suffering, the believer knows, by true faith, that God will always be faithful to him. Hallelujah! “Therefore, know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments” (Deut. 7:9). And again, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (1 Cor. 10:13).
CLEARLY, THE Lord is faithful to the believer in every trial, sickness, suffering or affliction no matter what it may be. But so often the truth of God’s faithfulness is not recognized until we look back to the time of our trial and affliction; it’s then that we see God was indeed faithful. But so often, to our shame, we have to confess that we were filled with doubt and fear the moment the trial appeared in our life. But looking back and reflecting on our life we must confess that the Lord is faithful, and that He will always provide for His redeemed. Can you say with the psalmist: “I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me”?
