The Faithfulness of God


The dictionary definition of faithfulness is "worthy of trust or belief ". I recently read a fiction book and the theme of it was the faithfulness of God. Throughout the family in the book's difficult trials, they believed in the faithfulness of God. That whatever the circumstance you find yourself in, God is there for you. He is someone who is worthy of our trust and belief in him. There is an old hymn that speaks of God's faithfulness.

" Great is Thy Faithfulness "

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 has been, Thou forever will be.
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 thee.

The song talks about how God's faithfulness never changes and how he provides for our needs everyday. We forget how much he loves us and that he has our best interests at heart. " All thing work together for good, for those that love the Lord ". Remember God's faithfulness when things seem too much to handle.
