1 Kings 1 1 Chr 28 Ps 91 1 Th 5

David also said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.      1 Chr 28: 20


I see in these scriptures the faithfulness of God. David says to his son in Chr. "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you”. You can count on God, even though all others fail David knows he can trust God will be there for him. God even says to David in Ps 91 "Because he (David) loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name”. God is faithful and we can trust in our heart that He is faithful because we acknowledge Him, because we love Him. Loving and acknowledging Him are not requirements for His faithfulness. They just help us to be reminded that He is faithful. In 2 th 1 Paul says  "5All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well”. Remember David’s promise to his son, that also applies to us “He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished”. God will not leave us until the work of the service is completed and then we will go to be with Him forever.

May God bless you and keep you in the knowledge of His faifullness. May you love and aknowledge Him as you are comfortable in His work of the cross finished in your life.
