Faithfulness

Lately, I have been struck by God's faithfulness to me. I consider myself to be a pretty faithful person. Faithful to my job, to my husband, to my child, to my friends. But when I heard this hymn sung at church last Sunday, it really convicted me. As faithful as I am to all those things, I am LESS faithful to my Lord, God, and Saviour. The One who created me. Read these words and let them soak in. I have been soaking in them this week.

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 will be.

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!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
