Have We Forgotten Our God Never Fails?
The world seems to have gone half mad and continues to spin out of control. If you’re anything like me, “breaking news” also breaks my trust in positions, programs, and people. But in the midst of all the uncertainty, I’m reminded that our God never fails. Never.
While we fail, this is never the case with our faithful and Almighty God.
He never fails His children. And He never fails as God. Because it’s outside God’s capacity to fail at anything.
Humanly speaking, failing is a natural part of life. But God is supernatural, failing is not in His wheelhouse.
So we learn from our own failures, how to cope with difficult life circumstances, and try to find peace in all the world’s chaos.
Still, let’s look at 5 ways to remind our hearts that God never fails (F-A-I-L-S).
F – Focus on God’s ability: God never fails
God “is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.” Ephesians 2:20 (ESV)
There’s not a better time to really know who God is and what God does than right now in our nation and world.
We trust God’s ability, not our own.
God. Is. Able.
A – Acknowledge God’s sovereignty
God rules as the supreme authority, doing what pleases Him (Psalm 115:3), His kingdom rules over all (Psalm 103:19).
Because no matter what happens and no matter who holds worldly or political positions, God is still on His throne and in control. God wants us to trust that He is God and He is good.
No matter how uncertain life becomes or who holds worldly or political positions, God is still on His throne and God never fails. Share on XI – Identify God’s promises: God never fails
“Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.” Joshua 21:45 (ESV)
None of us know what any day may bring. But we know God’s promises prove true. And He will fulfill every promise He makes. Because God is the ultimate Promise-Keeper.
Faith is the firm ground where we stand waiting on the Lord to fulfill His promises.

“The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.” Psalm 145:13b (NIV)
L – Lean on God’s comfort
Psalm 23:1, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (ESV) God as Shepherd makes me lie down in green pastures, leads me beside still waters, and restores my soul. (Verses 2-3)
“Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.” Romans 15:33 (ESV)
“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 (ESV)
God is a God of comfort. But it’s our job to lean on Him and find the comfort we need.
S – Spend time with God in worship and prayer: God never fails
The more we get to know God by spending time with Him, the more we trust who He is and how He works in our lives. And we trust God’s best for us even when it doesn’t line up with our own plans.
As our relationship grows with the heavenly Father, our belief that He never fails also grows.

Let’s remember, our God never fails. Hallelujah!

Great reminders for our uncertain times. Thanks, Karen, for encouraging us all. God bless!
God bless, Nancy. I pray to lean on the “everlasting arms” no matter my circumstances or what’s happening in the world.
This reminds me of a lyric from a song by Chris Tomlin: “His love never, fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me.” Thank you, Karen, for reminding us all that we may fail and fall, but God is eternally perfect. May He always bless you!
Oh, yes, Martha, I remember those lyrics to that song. Perfect! No matter what happens and no matter who holds worldly or political positions, God is still on His throne and in control. God wants us to trust that He is God and He is good.
Thanks Karen for the spiritual article. May God bless you aboduntly.
God bless you, James. Faith is the firm ground where we stand waiting on the Lord to fulfill His promises.
Amen. God never fails. We can rest in His peace. Have a blessed weekend! 🙂
Absolutely, Melissa. “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 (ESV)
The truths you have written stand out like a light in this dark world where many are proclaiming doom and gloom. Thank you for your encouraging reminder that God is in control and He NEVER fails.
Glad this encouraged you, Susan. “The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.” Psalm 145:13b (NIV)
Karen, I’m forever grateful that our God never fails, never changes like shifting shadows, and is the same yesterday, today, and forever! What a Savior.
A thousand Hallelujahs to that, Linda. “Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.” Joshua 21:45 (ESV)
