... God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

When faced with “darkened” times, knowing that “God is faithful” brings helpful thoughts. Joy fills us knowing we will “be able to endure it.”

Being forgetful about the needs of others may be harmful and hurtful. However, thinking about God’s faithfulness directs us to HIM. We hear of one’s need. We want to add hope and carry any burden that seems to be occurring.

A sinful world is saved with God’s promised work. Encouragement springs from God’s eternal presence.

May we encourage others with God’s faithfulness.
