The Faithfulness of God

Does it surprise you to know that God allows us to face hard times? It's true, and we see it throughout the history of Israel in the Old Testament.  When we choose to rebel against God, or go our own way He does not stop us, but there are consequences to our actions. Yet even in these times, God remembers His covenant relationship with his people and is faithful to his promise to provide restoration. That is exactly what He did in sending His Son Jesus. God is always faithful.
