Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

God Is Faithful



No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.  1 Corinthians 10:13


God is faithful.  Sometimes, I just need a reminder.


Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations (Deuteronomy 7:9)

Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. (Psalm 31:5)
The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy  (Psalm 111:7)
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9)
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
 [I]f we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself. (2 Timothy 2:13)
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)
Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.  (1 Peter 4:19)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. (Revelation 19:11)

That should cover about every situation.  If I had a 1911, I'd have that last one engraved on it.
