Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9

If you are looking for a fact, promise and truth to praise God for 2021 and trust God in 2022, here is one you could hang your hat on.

This ancient promise reminds us that God is God, and there is no other God other than the Great I Am. It reminds us that God was faithful, is faithful, and will continue to be faithful next year and every year after that.

When you look back at 2021, you will find peace and comfort knowing that

God was faithful!

This ancient promise reminds us that God has loved us in the past, loves us now, and will continue to love us in the future.

When you look back at 2021, you will find peace and comfort knowing that God has loved you.

Our part is simple. Love him back and keep his commandments. This is the part of love that most of us miss. This is what Jesus meant when he said, “If you love me, you will obey me.” John 14:23

My prayer for you in the upcoming year is that you and I would never forget that God is God, and there is no other God than the Great I Am! We will never doubt, waiver, or take for granted his faithfulness and his covenant of love. And we would honor him by living a life of faith and love fueled by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit honoring King Jesus in all we do.

May you be blessed and experience the faithfulness and love of God in 2022 like no other year.
