They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. - Lamentations 3:23
We hear much preaching that exhorts us to be faithful stewards of the grace of God, faithful givers, faithful in prayer, worship, and holiness; but our hope of life and eternal glory is not in our faithfulness but in his faithfulness! We will be faithful by his grace and because he has given us a new heart which desires to walk with him. But even when we fail, fall, and stumble, he is faithful! He is faithful to his word, to his covenant, and to his Son. This was David's great comfort when he lay dying—not in his faith, his works, nor his service, but in the Lord's faithfulness to his covenant in Christ (2 Sam. 23:5).
