Great is thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
I'm afraid so often. "What a wimp" I say. And I begin to reason in my mind where I can go for help or who I can appeal to. But more often than not I end with "No - they won't care." I know that even though I have my own sob story so does everyone else. Times are tough and frankly, compassion is flowing about as much as cash - it just isn't.
Then I read this: "You have kept what You promised Your sevant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand" (2 Chron 6:15)
And this "I have been young and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread."
Why would I think that God will change His ways with ME? From my devotions "Faith knows that God always performs what He promises." And like the song says "Thous changes NOT, Thy compassions they fail not." While my bank lacks compassion and people around me don't have the resources to show much compassion, I serve a God - My FATHER - His copassion never fails.
In a world of uncertainty, our trust is in a faithful God who will always keep His promises.
Thanks Dad. I love you. I'll try not to be afraid - just hold tightly to my hand today please.
