"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
I woke up this morning singing the hymn that is written from that verse:
"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 wilt be.
Chorus:
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided--
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
(chorus)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow--
Blessings all min, with then thousand beside!
Chorus:
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided--
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Written by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866-1960
Yes, I woke up this morning singing that hymn because God IS faithful...He never changes...His compassions never fail...every morning I do see new mercies...and yes, ALL I have ever needed His hand has provided.
Trust me, there have been dark days, lean days, scary days, days when I feared that God had somehow forgotten me...but even in my darkest hours, I have to say that I KNOW He has never let me down. His mercy has never failed...and He has ALWAYS provided just what I needed...even when I didn't know that was what I needed. He knew best. Like the old TV show, "Father Knows Best"...our Heavenly Father really does know best. First time, every time.
I don't know what you may be going through right now. But I can honestly say to you from experience: Trust God...He IS faithful...always and forever!
"'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, , Therefore I hope in Him!" Lamentations 3:24
I am so thankful for His faithfulness, even when MY faithfulness seems to be on the fritz! Ha!

ReplyDeleteIsaiah 43:19 is my favourite Scripture... I believe God will and does always make a way.
