Did you hear me singing tonight? Surely those of you around Atlanta and on the
East coast heard me.
I know my friends and family in Tennessee
probably heard me, for I was singing real loud.
We went to an organ concert tonight and a
hymn-sing broke out. We sang my favorite
hymn – Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
I sounded real good – and as loud as I
could, I sang with my whole heart. You
see, I have been, and continue to be, a recipient of the faithfulness of God’s
goodness. I imagine you have received
His faithfulness also. Maybe you have
forgotten some of those moments because you've been caught up in the hard places
in your life.
Let me help you recapture some of those
moments when God has shown His faithfulness to you.
One of the phrases says: “There
is no shadow of turning with thee.”
God gives us a promise – “I will never
leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5
And the next line reminds us of this: “Thou changest not, thy compassions, they
fail not. As thou has been, thou forever
will be” That one is found in
Hebrews 13:8 and it says: “Jesus
Christ is the same – yesterday, today and forever.”
In verse 3 we are reminded of this:
Pardon for
sin and a peace that endureth. Look at Micah 7:18 for
that one: “Who is a God like you, who forgives and pardons our sins and
transgressions.”
And the second part of that lyric: Check
out Philippians 4:7 – And the peace of
God, which exceeds anything our feeble minds can understanding, will guard your
heart and mind through Christ.
The lyric continues:
Strength for
today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings
all mine, with ten-thousand beside
And when we sang the refrain, I tried
really hard to be heard up in New York and Boston.
Refrain
Great is
thy faithfulness
Great is
thy faithfulness
Morning by
morning new mercies I see
All I have
needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is
thy faithfulness, Lord unto me
I kind of like this song just a wee little
bit. You see, I've needed the
faithfulness of God in my life. I've stumbled some, and lost my way more than once. I've made some dumb decisions, I've let the cheese fall off my cracker a
time or two and had to have God’s help to reach down and put it back in place.
I've been one who has been in great need
of God’s faithfulness.
And you know what? He comes through.
HE COMES
THROUGH!
And if he comes through for me, I know He
will come through for you too.
If you need to experience the
faithfulness of the Faithful One, call to him, right now. He has left his light on and there is food on
the table and a warm embrace awaiting you.
Now, treat yourself to this inspiring
rendition of this song
