God is faithful, and He demonstrated this by freeing Israel from slavery and then providing protection, guidance, and food while they followed.

very few indeed,
and resident aliens in Canaan,
wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,
he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their behalf
God is faithful, showing His faithfulness through His covenants. This is shown by protecting Israel during the Exodus, even when they were in rebellion. So too does He care for us whose faith is in Christ as we wander this world sharing the gospel until His return.
