faithful.

"Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth 
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; 
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, 
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!" 

Probably my favorite verse from my favorite hymn, Great Is Thy Faithfulness.  Too often lately I have been reminded in subtle, and some not so subtle ways of the faithfulness of God.  It is so funny to me how God, in His impeccable sense of humor, reminds me that He still has everything under control and the He ALWAYS keeps His promises.  How often we forget that we serve a God that promised us so many times in His word that He would never leave us hanging.  Our society as a whole, myself included, has become such a cynical people that we would doubt that the God who loved us enough to create us and the die for us would leave us hanging to fend for ourselves!!!  Guess what...He doesn't leave us.  Ever.  Our God keeps His promises, does what He says He will do and that includes His incredible provision for His children.  

I know that some of you are struggling.  We see it everywhere we go and to to be honest, we struggle to.  People have and will continue to fail you.  People will let you down.  Life gets tough sometimes.  But can I promise you something??  We serve a God who will NOT fail us!  A God who keeps His promises.  I am living proof of that!  He offers us strength for today and a bright hope for tomorrow!  Be encouraged.  The Bible says that "He is the same yesterday, today and forever."  He won't change and will ALWAYS be faithful!

the Lord's good!
