But Yahweh Remains Faithful

27-11-2025
From the preaching I watched yesterday, I wrote down the chapters the pastor had advised to read. They were example prayers and would teach us how to pray. Nehemiah 1 and 9, Ezra 9, Daniel 9 and John 17. Yesterday I started reading them, starting with John 17. Right before I went to bed. This morning I woke up and read a bit more of John 17, the last verses. And then I started, well, continued, the devotion time. I read Ezra 9. Then I sat up and prayed. Then I wanted to finally get back to my study bible; it had been about 2-3 weeks now since I studied last. I had totally forgotten where I left off. I opened the Bible, and it was at Nehemiah. The last time I had just finished the book of Ezra, and so I had read Ezra 9 right before that too, since there are 10 chapters in Ezra. I totally forgot about this. This was perfect. So, instead of starting the New Testament like I wanted to do today, I read the study notes of Ezra 9.

“Through the years, the Israelites repeatedly failed to uphold their end of the agreement, but Yahweh remained faithful.”

As I read this, I change “the Israelites” to “I” and “their” to “my”.

Through the years, I repeatedly failed to uphold my end of the agreement, but Yahweh remained faithful.

How many times have I failed to uphold my end of the agreement? Of the bargain? Of the promise? Of the calling? Of His salvation? Of His testimony? How many times? And He is still faithful. He has been faithful. And He will remain faithful. What a merciful, almighty God.

Many times I failed to keep writing, to keep posting, to keep sharing, to keep the blog. Many times I failed to do what God blessed me with to do. To write. I’ve had many confirmations throughout the years: 2017, 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024 were big moments. Confirmations that I am called to write. And how many times I failed. But God remains faithful. He still urges me to write. He still fills me with passion to write. He still fills me with fulfilment when I write. He still touches lives when that one person reads.

Many times I failed to not worry. Many times I failed to not believe that I provide for myself. Many times I failed to trust God. But Yahweh remains faithful. Jehovah Jireh remains faithful. He promises us that He provides everything we need, once we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. He still provides me with food every day. A roof over my head, clothes on my back, every day. He provides my health, my family, He provides me with people. He still provides.

Many times I failed to share freely. With no fear. With no thought of what a person would think. Many times I failed to not allow that to change my actions or words. Many times I failed to share my testimony, my experiences, my story. Many times I failed to be free in telling my story on photo or video. To show glimpses of me and my life. Many times I failed. But He? He still remains faithful. He still calls me to speak. He still calls me to share. He still pushes me to go to people, in front of people, on stages, in front of the camera, to testify. He still remains faithful.

Many times I failed to not believe the lies of the enemy. I failed to put on my helmet of salvation. I failed in taking thoughts captive. I failed in surrendering those thoughts to Christ, placing them in His hands. Many times I failed to not overthink and enter a downward spiral of thoughts. Many times I failed to share my struggles with someone near, to not go through the challenge alone. Many times I failed in knowing my worth. Knowing that I am loved. Knowing that I am wonderfully and purposefully made in His image. Many times I failed in remembering my identity. Whose I am. But He still remains faithful. He still lived for me, died for me, and rose back up from the dead to save me. His salvation remains the same. I am still saved today. His life and His purpose are still faithful.

Many times I failed in sharing Him. In telling His story. In sharing His word. Who He is. Who Yahweh is. Who Yeshua is. Who the Holy Spirit is. Many times I have denied Him. Many times I have broken His heart. Many times I have made Him sad. Many times I turned away. Many times I chose something, someone or some moment over Him. Many times I failed Him. BUT HE STILL REMAINS THE SAME. He still invites me to come to Him. To come near. To enter His presence. To stay by His side. He still waits for me with open arms, every time I choose to turn away or choose anything else but Him. He still whispers gently and lovingly to me. He still delights in every detail of my life. He still has a plan for me and with me. He still has a purpose for my life. He still remains faithful.
