Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 Chaplain's Column for January 2025 - Faithful and Trustworthy

 

Guest Columnist is Dragoon Member and Director of Music, Rob Schwartz.

 

“Faithful and trustworthy”

We all have been hurt by someone we trusted. Maybe a loved one, a close friend, or a stranger we have tried to help.  Once we have been hurt, our trust is broken and may never be fully restored.

We have only one person we can never have to worry about breaking that trust, God. He is not like us humans that take other nonessential factors into play. He is faithful, trustworthy, and kind.

He will ALWAYS provide for our needs, but not always our wants. We have to remember He can see a lot bigger picture than we can. A “no” for something we really want, may be due to Him saving us from a bigger hurt later.

This week, take just a moment to thank God for providing your needs, and protecting you from a larger scale hurt when He says “no”.

”Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.“

Deuteronomy 7:9 NLT
