God is faithful
God’s Decree.
“I, yes I, am your true husband.
I’ll pick you out... and bring you to Zion. ~ Jeremiah 3:14 (MSG)
However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. ~ John 6:37b (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
God is faithful beyond what you might expect.
PRAYER:
Kind God, you never reject the people who sincerely turn to you. You even go out of your way to seek people out. Thank you. I'm too comfortable with my life as it is. However, the idea of going on a journey with you feels disruptive. But you know that if I'm going to truly enjoy your faithfulness I need some disruption. Move forward with your plan for my life. Amen.
