“An Attribute a Day Will
Help Keep Us in God’s Way”
[An
attribute describes God’s character]
A.
Attribute of God: Faithful
This
attribute reveals God’s firmness and constancy in His relationship with men,
especially His own people. It is closely
connected to His goodness, mercy and unconditional love. He is the Covenant-Keeping God. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit for
believers.

love.”

Quote to Ponder:
“Beloved, let us love.”
LORD, what
is love?
“Love
is that which inspired My life and led Me [faithfully] to My cross. Love is that which will make it thy joy to
lay down thy life for thy brethren.”
LORD,
evermore give me this love [increase it].
“Blessed
are thy which do hunger and thirst after love, for they shall be filled.” Amy Carmichael

Personal Touch of the Holy Spirit:
1.
Promise
– How did the Holy Spirit console or comfort or encourage you as you read the
Scriptures about God’s faithfulness to you?
2.
Press
– In what area of your own personal holiness does the Holy Spirit seem to be
pressing you to yield to Him?
3.
Probe
– What relationship is He probing and calling you to consider in light of God’s
faithfulness to you? What
circumstance? What difficulty? What frustration?
4.
Prod
– What will you do in response to His personal prodding?
