SS25-Q4-L12 - God Is Faithful!—December 13–19
Saturday Afternoon - December 13, 2025
Key Scriptures for the Week: Josh. 21:43-45; 2 Tim. 2:11-13; Joshua 23; Rev. 14:10, 19; Deut. 6:5
Thought for Meditation:
The words and promises of God are the only foundation of our faith. Take the word of God as truth, as a living, speaking voice to you, and obey faithfully every requirement. God is faithful, who hath promised. He will work with the efforts of superintendents and teachers. Our blessings are limited by the weakness of our faith. God is not unwilling to bestow; He is a reservoir of power. We must cherish meekness and holiness of heart. We may have rich evidences of His love and mercy daily in our self-denying efforts to do others good. I entreat the workers in our Sabbath schools to put on the whole armor of God, and, as faithful soldiers of Jesus Christ, show their fidelity. God will reward every work that is done to His glory.--TSS 26-29. {CSW 72.2} Counsels on Sabbath School Work (1938)
Memory Text: There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. {Joshua 21:45}
The purpose of this week’s lesson, God Is Faithful!, is to strengthen the believer’s confidence in the unchanging reliability of God’s promises and to call God’s people to covenant loyalty in preparation for final events.
Through Joshua 21–23 and key New Testament affirmations (2 Tim. 2:11–13), the lesson highlights that every word God has spoken will be fulfilled, both promises and warnings. Israel’s experience becomes a prophetic mirror for the last-day remnant—teaching that God's past faithfulness guarantees the certainty of His future judgments (Rev. 14:10, 19) and His final deliverance.
The Spirit of Prophecy reminds us that God’s promises are a living voice, activated by obedient faith and hindered only by unbelief. The Shepherd’s Rod emphasizes that the closing work requires a people who reflect full trust in God, unwavering loyalty, and wholehearted love (Deut. 6:5), demonstrating the faith of Jesus as they stand through the coming purification.
In the last days, fidelity to God’s covenant will distinguish the 144,000 and all who live through the final crisis. God’s faithfulness to His word demands our faithful response.
