"In the midst of it all"

Psalm 89:33 "but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness."

You know, I seem to be stuck on the faithfulness of God. It's amazing, but so true. I must not get it, yet :)

Daniel in the Lions den. Would you be faithful with a Lion about to kill you? Yet David returned unscathed. They didn't devour him, and I'm sorry but I get the feeling if I were down there ... I'd be a goner? Don't you get that feeling. But David prayed and God was faithful to save him.

David and Goliath. Ok, here's the little tiny wimpy guy in your class. You know the one everyone made fun of. He's tiny. He's not grown into his manly body yet. He will some day, but today he's still the small brother. He goes up against a giant, to many of normal size. What would that be to the runt? But David fought him, with just a sling and a stone. I can't fathom how on target he would have to be to kill Goliath with that rock. Yet David emerged victorious from that battle. God was with Him. His faith was in the God above, and he was saved. God was faithful.

How about, Moses crossing the red sea? It's like the preacher preached Sunday ... what would you think about crossing a sea with waves on each side of you (and you know full well water was there before). Will this last while "I" cross? The people's faith lied with the God of Moses and Aaron. They had seen his many works before. Surely, this is nuts. But they pursued, and God saved them from the enemy .... and the crashing waves? God was faithful.

Those situations, aren't enough are they. I mean, after all they happened 1000 and more years ago?

Let's get more personal, shall we?

Your down to your last few dollars, and in comes a bonus from work? A chance to fix something for someone and make a few bucks, or may be someone brought you that loaf of bread you need? Isn't that God, providing your needs.

Maybe it's that unseen feeling of love when you are faced with tragedy. Yet you know God is there, it's a comfort, a peace, that you cannot explain. It's God, He's there. He is faithful and true.

I don't understand why in the past 2-3 days my mind has been overwhelmed with the faithfulness of God, but evidently I needed to be reminded of these circumstances. God will be there. He will provide. His love will never end, EVEN when I mess up. It's awesome. I surely don't deserve it. But, He will be there.

Psalm 57:10"For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies."

Thank God for his unfailing love, His faithfulness that goes beyond my imagination.

"God's still faithful, in the midst of it all, He's faithful!"
