God is Faithful

So......

Today I was reading 1 Corinthians 10, on my journey through the Corinthians, and God revealed some truth to me.

It is a simple truth. As always.

God is Faithful.

The verse that got me was 1 Corinthians 10:13. But before I unveil the verse, and blow your mind, let me get some definitions out of the way.

Faithful  having or showing true and constant support or loyalty; deserving trust

Also, my NIV version uses tempted as opposed to tested. But according to the bottom of the page in my bible, the Greek for temptation and tempted can also mean testing and tested.

And since James 1:13-14 says 13. "When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14. "but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desires and enticed", I'm going to use test because God will test you.

Now the verse.....

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No testing has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is Faithful; he will not let you be tested beyond what you can bear. But when your are tested, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. "

This is such good news! It helped me realize that God is always on my side, and I can overcome anything all because God is Faithful.

Personal Moment:

I'm about to start my 5th year of college *Super Senior* and it sucks! When I think about it makes me sad and mad at myself. I was not faithful to my school work and that led to me falling behind and having to spend two semesters getting my GPA back up. It was horrible. Now I'm stuck in undergrad while the people I graduated high school with are moving on with their lives.
But.....
I "consider it pure joy whenever faced with trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance" (James 1:2-3). Thanks to Jesus, I am given "a way out so [ I ] can endure."
I have this peace in me that helps me understand that "All things will work for the good of those who love God." And God is Faithful.

Gospel Bomb:

The most faithful thing God has ever done was send his son Jesus Christ to die for the sins of humanity. And by his death, giving every person who believes him EVERLASTING, ETERNAL life. That is the type of life that cannot be taken away.
