Great is thy faithfulnes...

How many people can you think of right now who have, in some way let you down?
Maybe its just a little thing like your son not doing as he was told, or maybe it a bigger thing like your husband not being faithful in his marriage.

Either way, there has and will be people who will let you down in this life.

here's another question, have you ever let anyone down?
have you ever been the person to give up on someone?
Have you in some way lost faith in God?

The apostle Peter understood the awesome power of faith as demonstrated in Acts 3:6. When a man begged something from him Peter SAID "in the Name of Jesus stand up and walk." Peter then acted upon his confession of faith by grabbing the mans hand and helping him to his feet. That is the God kind of faith. Complete confidence that what he SAID would come to pass.

But as we all know, Peter was far from perfect!
Some of his actions showed the lack of faith that he had.

Did you know that the only thing that every impressed God was faith?

In Hebrew it says without faith its impossible to please Him!

''And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.'' - Heb. 11:6

So faith is a very important part of the Christian life, I would say the it IS the Christian life, if we don't live by faith then we don't believe, which is salvation.
But our faith is never going to be perfect, we will fail and let God down, but that's were Gods wonderful grace comes in.

So today as you go through life and people are letting you down, just remember:

''Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”- Deuteronomy 31:6
