07/25/2013 SUPERFRUIT STUDY: FAITHFULNESS
Galatians 5:22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives HE will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
[Living Bible]
Summary
Another SUPERFRUIT of the HOLY SPIRIT is FAITHFULNESS.
Faithfulness is remaining true to a commitment or promise. When Thomas O. Chisholm reflected on the FAITHFULLNES of GOD, he wrote the words of this song*:
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 has been, thou forever will be.
Refrain:
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.
