Great is thy Faithfulness!
“For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens, your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.” Psalm 108:4 (NLT)
On the nights that I have a hard time falling asleep, (unfortunately there are many) when
praying, reading, getting out of bed, or having a cup of hot chocolate don’t work, I resort to my final sleeping method: Using the letters of the alphabet to describe the attributes of God. (Awesome, Bountiful, Constant) … I know simple minds, simple pleasures! There are many nights when I go through the list two or three times before I sleep. (The goal is to use a different word each time around!) But I always stop and linger on the letter “F” because I always use the same word: “Faithful”, God has truly been faithful to me.
Have your ever read Psalms 136? Read it and be blessed! Twenty-six times the phrase
“His faithful love endures forever!” (NLT) is repeated. Can you imagine David heralding the great works of God and all the Israelites responding in one voice, “His faithful love endures forever!” WOW!
This week God performed an incredible miracle in our lives. One of those situations where you know that you just have to stand back and pray “Your will be done” because there is absolutely nothing humanly possible that can change your situation. Well God did just that!! For the last two days all I been thinking about are adjectives to levitra canada describe God’s faithfulness to us! If you want to be blessed, think upon some of these words and see just how many times they are used in the Bible: (NIV)
Faithful: 157 Unfailing love: 25 Faithfulness: 50 Gracious: 46 Loving: 13 Amazing: 25
Trustworthy: 25 LOVE: 697 Merciful: 21
Blessed beyond words, I leave you with the words of the famous hymn, “Great is thy Faithfulness.” When life seems difficult or perhaps even like God doesn’t seem to be answering your prayers, remember GOD IS FAITHFUL! That doesn’t mean He’s only faithful when He answers our prayers, no, God is faithful in the good, in the bad and even
when we can’t perceive it. GOD IS FAITHFUL!
“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.”
“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.”
“Pardon for sin and a peace that endures. They own dear presence to cheer and to guide. Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
“Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand has provided, great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!”
