Creation points to God's Faithfulness

Isn't it just amazing how the Lord has just filled this world and universe with sights(eye catching illustrations) to effectually teach us of his ways,character, and attributes that our hearts and minds might continually be full and overflowing with love and adoration to Him.

Thy mercy O Lord is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgements are great deep........How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. Psalms 36:5-7

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Lam. 3:22-23

Not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you, all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. Joshua 23:14

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his chosen people, according to all he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise. 1 Kings 8:56

O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things: thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth, Isaiah 25:1


Forever ,O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. Ps.119;89-90

"WHEN "
by Russell T.

Hope teams up with joy and peace,
And rests within the soul;
Then loves sweet whispers never cease,
Though waves of sorrow roll.
When my eyes are filled with tears,
My heart is warmed with joy;
Loves wondrous words to calm my fears;
Bring peace without alloy.
When my soul is overwhelmed,
Sights and sounds of woe;
In my heart, my Lord is at the helm,
That's all I need to know!

I just want to add that the part about "loves sweet whispers" is not a figment of my imagination at all. I don't recall ever discussing this spiritual phenomenon with anyone but it is a very real experience and so very precious to my memory. If anyone reading this blog has experienced it please let me know. I know it is so mysterious it is hard to explain, yet when it happens you are just as certain of it as any thing that has ever happened, it is total reality.

Promises for Uncertain times...

In these times of uncertainty, trouble, and danger; it is such a blessing to be able to look into the promises of one who cannot fail, always true and faithful, one who has faced it all and so much more and knows exactly what we are passing through in this shadowy pathway of life. Here are some that mean so much to me:

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Ps.46:1

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.Nahum 1:7

The Lord redeemeth the souls of his servants; and none of them that trust in him are left desolate."Ps.34:22

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer,my God,my strength,in whom I will trust, my buckler,and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Ps.18:2

Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them 2 Kings 6:16

I am persuaded that neither death,nor life, nor angels,nor principalities,nor powers,nor
things present, nor things to come,nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus or Lord. Romans 8: 38-39

The promises of men so quickly fail and fall to the ground and are buried under the dust of time. Jesus never fails. Heaven and earth will all pass away, yet Jesus never fails. He alone is worthy of all our praise and glory throughout the endless ages of eternity! What a privilege is ours; to trust in him with all our hearts and lean not to our own understanding.
