February's verse

Did I spell February right? I feel like I always mispell that month. I also always mess up the spelling of Wednesday. My college roommate Krista finally told me to remember it as "Wed-nes-day." That helped. For some reason I have done well with my Masters coursework but I just can't figure out how to spell. Oh well.

So last month our verse was Psalm 23:6- Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I was trying to remember and have faith that God would be faithful through all the challenges that January presented. Sometimes I did have faith, and at other times I tried to take control myself as I got anxious. Thankfully, God is slow to anger and abounding in love whether I am faithful or not. So this month is it my desire for John to know that His God is always faithful even when John is not faithful to God. This month's verse is:

2 Timothy 2:13- if we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for He can not dissown Himself.

I think this means that if we have accepted Christ as our Savior and His sacrifical death as the payment for our sins, that He will never turn His back on us and He will never fail to save us when we call on His name, no matter how long it as been since we have sought Him.

I am reading a book about a modern-day cult and how the cult leader tells his followers that they must have perfect faith and perfect obedience in order to enter heaven. Any missteps and they can be thrown into hell. This idea made me pause and thank God that I know the truth: God sent Christ to cover all our disobedience so that instead of living in fear that I don't measure up, I can instead live in joy that Christ measured up for me! Cheers.
