UNFAILING LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS
Ps. 25:10 The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all those who keep his covenant and obey his decrees. NLT
The Lord does not lead everybody. He doesn't get involved in the lives of those who have nothing to do with Him. In order for us to have God be our guide through life, we must do our part by keeping His covenant and obeying Him. We must deliberately choose to engage ourselves in a relationship with Him. We must act like God is our Father. We must strive to live holy lives. There is no wiggle room on this. In order for the Lord to be in our lives, we must partner with Him and obey Him.
The Lord leads with unfailing love. Be assured, everything God does in us is done out of His love. We don't always see it or understand it, but it is. God has only our best interests at heart. He knows what is best for us and does what is necessary for us to achieve it. His love compels Him to discipline us when we need it. It compels Him to convict us of sin as we need it. It compels Him to correct our thinking and actions when necessary. It compels Him to keep us from getting too comfortable and complacent in our life in Him.
The Lord leads us with unfailing faithfulness. In all things, at all times, you can count on God to be true to His character and nature. He never ceases to be anything less than perfect in all He does. He is faithful in His love. He is faithful to His Word. He is faithful to fulfilling His plans for our lives. He is faithful in ministering to our every need. He is faithful in helping us make it home to heaven to be with Him for all eternity.
The Lord is faithful to lead and love all who live submissively to Him and obey Him. However, if you are unfaithful to Him and fail to love Him back, you are on your own. It takes two participating parties to keep a covenant in place.
Blessed are those being led by the Master's unfailing love and faithfulness.
