July 4: God is Faithful, He Will Strengthen You

“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.”
— 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God’s faithfulness never fails, even when ours wavers.
  2. He establishes us in strength beyond human limits.
  3. Evil cannot overcome the one God protects.
  4. We are guarded daily by His unchanging love.
  5. Faithfulness is God’s nature, not just His action.

Poem: Strength for the Day

The hours fall heavy on my hands.
The news shouts louder than hope.
But your faithfulness rides the morning winds.
You lay strength under broken plans.
You sing courage into the hollow days.

The tempter knocks against my thoughts.
The liar builds false roads of fear.
But your voice cuts the noise to shreds.
You wrap truth around my tired mind.
You hold me steady in the storm.

I build small towers that fall down fast.
I light fires that flicker and die.
But you build with stones of peace.
You fuel the flame with endless light.
You lift the roof of my heart.

The night tries to write a darker end.
The voices try to close the way.
But your hand carves the higher road.
Your shield splits the deepest night.
Your word binds my heart to life.

Today I rest in your sure hand.
Today I plant my feet on your truth.
You are faithful when I fear.
You are strong when I fall.
You are the guard of my soul.
