Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Y’all. God is so good, merciful, loving, sovereign, forgiving and faithful. I’ve noticed that in my own life, I only notice God’s faithfulness when something good happens for me. You know, when my prayers are answered, when my job is going well, when my family is getting along, when Auburn wins football games (LOL…….no, but really….sometimes I downgrade Him to that. That’s another struggle for another day), I think I just completely overlook the fact that He is faithful every single day. He is faithful on the rainy days, on the days that everything goes wrong, on the hard days, and even on the impossible days. He is faithful on the lazy days, and He is faithful on the sunny days. He is always sovereign. He is always merciful. He is always faithful.

On those days when I ask myself what He is doing with my life, He is faithful. On those days when I am filled with grief, and pain from the finality of death, He is faithful. In fact, those days when I feel like the walls are crashing down on me, and I just can’t take one more step, or one more day, those are the days when He is the most faithful. Those are the days when He gives me enough strength to keep going one more step and one more day. On those days when it hurts to breathe, and I don’t want to get out of bed, He gives me just enough energy to take another breath and continue to breathe and even get out of bed. On those rainy days, and on those days when I am feeling extra sassy, He is faithful and gives me more than enough grace to completely turn me around. When I am feeling lonely, He is faithful and sovereign in providing me with Godly friendships, but He is also faithful in reminding me that I am never alone. When I am restless and exhausted, God is faithful to provide rest. God is so faithful, and I am so in love with Him! I am blown away by His faithfulness every day. He is faithful when I am not. He is faithful when I don’t deserve it. He is faithful to extend grace when I deserve condemnation.

Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto me!

He is faithful in everything. He is faithful in the big things. He is faithful in the little things. He is faithful in the wonderful things. He is faithful in the painful things. He is so faithful, and I am so thankful to serve a God who is always faithful, and His faithfulness is not dependent on whether or not I deserve it…because quite frankly, I don’t ever deserve His grace. I never deserve any of it, but that’s the thing about grace…grace is freely given and never earned. I don’t really know about you, but I sure am glad that grace isn’t earned!!!
