The Faithfulness of God
/I've been working on a "project" to sort through one of Floyd's email accounts - to file, delete, archive, etc. As I've been doing that, it's like going through our history for everything that has happened in our life for years and years. It's been fascinating to "relive" all the events - many that I've forgotten about. Through it all, there are two dominant thoughts running through my mind.
The first is - change. Oh my goodness - sooo many things have changed. In fact, almost everything in our lives has changed. I definitely had forgotten some things. As I sorted through the emails, my mind was flooded with memories of all that has happened and changed.
The second thought is - God's faithfulness. I'm sure that doesn't surprise you. Over and over there was a need, a problem, something that had to be sorted out......and then the emails of God's provision and answers. Sometimes the situation seemed impossible - and then the solutions came. I found myself stopping to worship the Lord over and over again. He has been so faithful!
I have to admit that I hadn't been excited about this project. I kinda drug my feet in getting to work on it. But now I look forward to each block of time I've set aside to work on it because I get to relive God's goodness and faithfulness! It's never ending.
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22,23
"Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds." Psalm 36:5
"If we are faithless, He remains faithful - for He cannot deny Himself." 2 Timothy 2:13
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
"For nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:37
It's clear that some things we experienced, some needs we had, seemed like "too much." I wasn't sure how we'd get through it. But God met us time and time again. I'm humbled as I journey though these emails to see God's goodness and faithfulness. All I can do is praise Him!
