Great is Thy Faithfulnees

Whenever I hear this phrase, or that God is faithful in all things, or something that talks of God's faith, I am amazed. I never think of God as needing Faith. I never think of Him as being Faithful. Because He knows all, He knows my thoughts, He knows Your thoughts. He knows how things are going to end when time will end. He knew His Son would be sitting on His right side. He knew Adam and Eve were going to sin. So why does God need Faith or even want Faith? Two reasons: 1) I believe that God expects us to be Faithful and because of that He doesn't give us anything He Himself is not willing or doesn't have. So He is Faithful that there are those of His elect that have Faith and love Him enough to walk in Faith. Hence He has mercies every minute of every day as evidence of that Faithfulness, 2) Is not Faith one of the three most important components of any Christian's walk? And that is because Faith is one of the three most important components of God's existence. Paul spoke of these in 1 Corinthians 13 and delineated Faith Hope and Love and the greatest is love. I believe we all have God's love. But we don't automatically give God's love. It is the process that begins with Faith, works in Hope and results in Love. God is teaching us how to love as He loves.
