In the song “Evidence”, Josh Baldwin sings about the faithfulness of God. Who, throughout his entire history, has walked beside him in the winter storms, in the spring, in every season of life. In surveying God’s goodness, he asks God to help him remember that in times of weakness and fear, God would still lead him to victory, because God is his strength and always will be. The ultimate evidence of God’s endless faithfulness is the cross and an empty grave, and because of Jesus, all Baldwin’s sins have been rolled away.
Baldwin’s song and Baruch’s story reminds us that God keeps His promise to never leave us, nor abandon us (Heb. 13:5), and even in the difficult seasons of life, God remains faithful. In Lamentations 3:22-23, Jeremiah declares, “Because of the Lord’s faithful love, we do not perish, for his mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!” The bible also says that “without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Heb. 11:6). Baruch’s story reminds us that a faithful God also rewards faithfulness.
