Great is Thy Faithfulness..........

Growing up I sang hymns when I visited my Grandmother's church. Something about them though always spoke such clear and simple truth that drew me in.

Then my hubby and I started dating and although the church we attended together still didn't sing hymns, when we attended church with his family, there they were. As an adult, I was introduced to BSF, if you know what that is......enough said about hymns, but I loved it.

Lately the Hymn that won't leave my mind is one of my favorites....."Great is Thy Faithfulness.." I have been singing it for almost a complete week. This morning on my run with the puppy, I realized the significance of why I have been singing it all week. It is because, if God is nothing else, He is Faithful. He is faithful in punishments that are promised and well deserved. He is faithful in blessings ~ promised or not, and usually never deserved. He is Faithful, in taking us to places we never would have considered, if it were left up to us, but not letting us fail either. He is Faithful to never leave us, forsake us, or stop loving us. He continues to be Faithful, even if and when we stop or falter in our own faithfulness.

What struck me this morning about God's Faithfulness, is that He is faithful for getting us through any situation. He IS there, whether or not we feel, see, or recognize it. His Faithfulness is also not limited to what it is that I want, but providing for me what I NEED. This is a huge difference. What I NEED is so much less, than what I may want.

As I prepare for the weekend, my prayer is that I continue to see more of His Faithfulness, for it is there.
