Psalm 145:13-21
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
[The Lord is faithful in all his words
and kind in all his works.]
The Lord upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.
You open your hand;
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and kind in all his works.
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord preserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever. (ESV)

According to “Mr. Webster,” some of the definitions of the word faithful are: “constant,” “loyal,” “maintaining allegiance to someone or something,” “having or showing a strong sense of duty or responsibility,” “conscientious.” All of these are laudable attributes that we can try to emulate, but only God truly embodies them.
Who is more faithful than our Heavenly Father? I’m continually amazed by his unwavering love, his constant care, and his steady presence in my life, especially when I least deserve his divine touch of grace.
