23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. — 2 Timothy 2:10-13 (KJV - King James Version)

“When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up—the flames will not consume you.” —Isaiah 43:2 (TLB)

We know intellectually that God is faithful, yet we still find it difficult to actively put our trust in Him.

Sometimes we struggle with trusting in the faithfulness of God because we know that we are not always faithful to Him.

God is faithful because He is God. He will never cease to be faithful to us.

Illustration of Trust:
One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As can be imagined, he was afraid to leave the roof. His father kept yelling: “Jump! I will catch you.” But the boy protested, “Daddy, I can’t see you.” The father replied, “But I can see you and that’s all that matters.” (Source unknown, Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
