Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
He is called God - the One Who is over all. It encompasses all of His power, His glory, His influence and His wonder. This word reminds us that He is the One in charge of all things.
Often our faith is overwhelmed by our doubts. In spite of that, God is faithful.
We can have confidence that our God is faithful and that He will stand by us even when our faith is weak, John 10:28-29; Heb. 7:25; Rom. 8:28-30!
Regardless of the realm of life, the Lord can be trusted. He is faithful.

“Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father; — there is no shadow of turning with thee; — thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not; — as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.
“Great is thy faithfulness! — Great is thy faithfulness! — Morning by morning new mercies I see: — all I have needed thy hand hath provided — Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
“Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, — sun, moon, and stars in their courses above — join with all nature in manifold witness — to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
“Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, — thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, — strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, — blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!”
Thomas O. Chisholm
