“God has not called us to be successful, but to be faithful.”

Lamentations 3:22-33  22  The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.  23 They are new every morning;  Great is Your faithfulness. 24  “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,  “Therefore I have hope in Him.” 25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,  To the person who seeks Him. 26 It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the Lord.  27 It is good for a man that he should bear The yoke in his youth.  28 Let him sit alone and be silent Since He has laid it on him.  29 Let him put his mouth in the dust,  Perhaps there is hope. 30 Let him give his cheek to the smiter,  Let him be filled with reproach. 31 For the Lord will not reject forever,  32 For if He causes grief,  Then He will have compassion According to His abundant lovingkindness.  33 For He does not afflict willingly Or grieve the sons of men.

I Thess. 5:24  Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.        

Psalm 37: 3-7;23-25 3 Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday.  7 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; 23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way.  24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.  25 I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken.

Psalm 89:6,8,9  6 For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord,    8 O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You 9 You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.       

2 Thess. 3: 3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

I Thess. 5:24  Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

2 Timothy 2:13   If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
