God’s faithfulness

Our church has been reading through the Old Testament this year, and we have come to Joshua this week.  Joshua is an incredible testimony of God’s faithfulness.  God had promised to give the land of Canaan to Abraham’s descendents over 400 years earlier.  In Joshua, God keeps his promise.  With great power, God brings Israel into the land.  While God’s saving work on the cross is his greatest demonstration of his love for us, his faithfulness is a priceless testimony of his love too.  Many of the Psalms tie his love and faithfulness together.  For example, the shortest Psalm – Psalm 117 – praises God because “great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.”  How has God been faithful to you?  How does his faithfulness spur you on to love God more?
