He Remains Faithful
by Matt Caudle
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7. I have heard this verse a hundred different times as many of us have and in each time I read the verse or heard the verse preached, it was mentioned as a positive, an encouragement, to uplift. But this verse use to burden me and make me question... “Have I truly kept the faith?”
Oh God, I have been faithless at times.
Oh God, I have doubted You.
Oh God, I have questioned You.
Oh God, I do not understand why at times.
Oh God, why aren’t You answering me?
Oh God, where are You?
Thankfully, we serve a gracious and loving Father who stays true even through our doubts, our uncertainty, our faithlessness.
“If we are faithless, he remains faithful.” 2 Timothy 2:13
Oh God, forgive me.
Oh God, thank you.
Oh God, Your timing is perfect.
Oh God, You always knew.
Oh God, I wasn’t ready.
Oh God, You never left.
Like the story of the Prodigal Son, our great, merciful Father longs for us to come back if even for a moment our faith wavers and we question. God remains faithful. Glory be to God!
