Faithfulness

As Thomas Chisholm wrote in the chorus of the great hymn in 1923; 
 

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.

Life gets busy, we all have things to do … be it work, recreation, time spent with family, time spent looking after children or looking after those in need, we all find our time can be so easily filled.  It is also easy to take for granted that we have ‘things to do’ and we always assume that we will be able to do them, we assume we will have our health and mobility and all our faculties to enable us to continue to do so.  How often do we stop and remember that we are only able to ‘do things’ because God sustains us each day?  How often are we grateful for the gift of another day, or are we too quick to complain about the frustrations we face?

As we have been given the gift of another year, let us walk in step with God each day and remember the gift of life that has been given to us.  When we face challenges and tough times, let us remember that God walks with us each step of the way and is faithful.

Lamentations 3, verses 22 and 23 says “Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.”
