God is faithful

One of the most prized attributes is 'the faithfulness of a friend.' And we have many we can put in this category. We thank God for these faithful friends we can turn to at any time.

Sometimes we may be going through a period of anxiety and how good it is when someone turns up and we can share freely our problems. Here is a verse we have three thoughts to ponder.

"Know therefore that the Lord your God; he is the faithful God..." Deut. 7: 9

First He is the Lord our God.
Second He is God the Almighty.
Third, He is faithful.

My favourite hymn "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 hast been Thou forever wilt 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,
    Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
    Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
    Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! -Thomas O Chisholm
