Faithfulness (6)
Faithfulness in little things is a big thing.
John Chrysostom

One great part of justice consists in a faithful and punctual performance of promises. He is a just man that keeps his word. And can God be a just God if He doth not? The word is gone out of His mouth that He will forgive such. Yea, He is willing to be accounted just or unjust by us as He makes performance thereof. See where He pledges His attribute upon this very account: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). He doth not say "merciful" but "just," as the attribute which we fear most should vote against us; this, He would have us know, is bound for the performance of the promise. It was mercy in God to make the promise, but justice to perform what mercy hath promised.
Man's faith may fail him sometimes, but God's faithfulness never fails Him (Ps. 89:33). God will not suffer His faithfulness to fail.
Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you.George Muller of Bristol by A.T. Pierson, 1899
God would sooner unmake the earth than desert his people.
"I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Heb 13:5). The Greek text of this verse contains five negative particles, cumbersome to render into English, but soul-enriching nevertheless: "Never will I leave you—no, never—no! Nor forsake you."Preaching as Reminding, 20
