When I first moved into my flat, I thought that those stick-on-velcro hooks would be a good idea for hanging up my saucepans.
Several weeks later, at around 2am one dark and dreary morning, I was (and presumably all my neighbours were too) woken up by an almighty cacophony, as all the pans fell off the wall at once, and crashed into the draining board.
Say what you like about it, proper nails drilled into the wall will always be better. Those cheap plastic hooks just had no ‘stickability’ after a while.
“Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.” - Psalm 36:5
Faithfulness is the ability to stick unwaveringly to a person, a promise, or a principle.
When it’s tough, when it’s easy, when it’s fun, when it’s not, faithful people remain true to what they’ve said, to whom they’ve promised, and to what they believe. And the reason is because that’s exactly what God does - He latches on, holds fast, never lets go, never loses stickability to His people, His promises, His principles.
Do you need extra stickability today? Do you feel like you live in a world of Velcro promises? Ask God to show you just how faithful He is, remind yourself of His love and His incredible stickability to you through the seasons. He won’t let you down; and He can show you how to be more faithful than Velcro will ever be.
