We do not need to be consumed by our sadness…

or our problems… or the chaos in our world.  Because God is always loving and caring for you. He is always caring for me.

Great is God’s faithfulness!

One of my special joys in reading through the Bible every year is when I read words that were used in the old famous hymns.  I was raised in a musical, conservative Christian home so these hymns bring back precious memories.

God tells me as I read Lamentations 3 that he will always be faithful to me.  And, while I watch God’s power as he raises the sun each morning, I am reminded of his promises.  “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one that seeks him.” verses 22-25.

God is never late (even though it can sometimes seem that way to us, right?).  He is never tired.  He is never distracted.

Whenever doubts about God enter my mind, all I have to do is look back and it’s easy to see God’s faithfulness to me day after day, year after year.  Even when you and I have wandered, God never left us. We are the one’s who left. God never stopped loving and caring for you and I.

He is caring for us today.

By faith, I know I can count on him to love me and care for me all of the rest of the days I walk on this earth…and on into heaven.

Great is your faithfulness, oh God, my Father!
