“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” (Heb. 10:23)

A farmer named John relied heavily on his crops to provide for his family. One year, however, a severe drought hit the region, and John's fields were withering away. Despite his best efforts to irrigate the land and pray for rain, the situation seemed hopeless.

One evening, as John was feeling discouraged and hopeless, a neighbor came to visit him.The neighbor saw the parched fields and asked John how he was managing to cope with the drought. John explained that he was doing everything he could, but it seemed like there was nothing more he could do. The neighbor then reminded John of the faithfulness of God, who had promised to provide for his children.

The neighbor's words struck a chord in John's heart, and he began to pray fervently for God's intervention. To his amazement, the next day, the skies opened up, and rain poured down upon the fields, reviving the crops and bringing new life to the land.

“The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever; they are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance.” (Psalms 37:18-19 ESV)

From that day on, John never forgot the lesson he learned about the faithfulness of God. Even when he faced other challenges in life, he held on to the belief that God would be faithful to provide for him and his family. And time and time again, God proved Himself faithful, just as He had promised.

Therefore

“I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.” (Psalms 37:25-26 ESV)
