Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God, my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy and hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me



I was just thinking about God's faithfulness a lot. Shocker, huh?

But anyway, I just am so amazed and awestruck by this truth. When we are faithless, He remains faithful. If I fail, He is faithful. If I don't look to Him, He remains faithful to me. In fact He says in Isaiah that He has inscribed the name of His people on His hands. So even if we say, "Surely the Lord has forgotten us; He has forsaken us," He will forever reply, "Can a mother forget her nursing child, and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. Behold, your name is inscribed on My hands, and your walls are continually before me."

He still watches our comings and goings. He still holds our hand. He still whispers sweetly to us. He still longs for every opportunity to show us grace. He still delights in us, and causes all things to work together for our good. What a merciful and compassionate God we serve!

For God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

He is faithful to His people. He is faithful to His creation.
