The Faithfulness God
No Matter What Comes Your Way, Remember That "He Is Faithful"
Greetings! I trust that this week's devotional finds you in great spirit, health and prosperity! As our society goes through social, political and economic uncertainties, it's comforting to know that our God is faithful!
HE IS FAITHFUL
Lamentations 3: 21-23
21. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22. It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23. They are new every morning great is his faithfulness.
"Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!" That is the familiar refrain to the hymn that you and I have sung for so many years in worship services. This anthem has been the morning hymn for the Christian Church for decades. The question we need to ask ourselves, do we understand that Christ is the only one who is truly faithful?
I grew up in a Christian home and we were taught never to forget Christ. My parents made sure, just like I'm sure yours did, to instill in us that Christ was the center of everything and that there was nothing that we could do or shouldn't do without Him. I am amazed at the fact that as I have grown to be a man, my parents and others that played a part in molding me were so right-you can't do anything without Him!
In the Book of Lamentations, the prophet Jeremiah penned a thought that should remind us all, how faithful Christ is. While remembering all the places he had been and the things he had gone through. Jeremiah realized that his faith had gone to another level. As Christians, we need to have the same voice, the same faith and the same blessed assurance that if God did it once, He can do it again.
Jeremiah also lets us know that if it had not been for the mercy of the Lord, we would have all been consumed, destroyed and washed up. He reminds us that God's compassions or His never- ending love for us is what has sustained us. But the good news is that His mercies are new every day! Glory!
Take the time to today to think about the "what ifs" in your life. What if "that" happened in that situation or if this happened in this situation? I promise-you will have to stop and give God praise for His faithfulness.
Be sure of this: people will fail you, but God never fails, for He is faithful.
