He has been More Faithful

I just wanted to take the time to publically praise the Lord for his great faithfulness in our lives. He has always proven faithful to us, but recently we have noticed it more.  It seems when you are yearning for something, yet trusting in Him, He graciously reminds you of His faithfulness despite what you think you need/want.  He has protected our hearts in these months as we have been waiting on Him for what lies ahead.  He has promised us that He will continue to be faithful and bring to pass blessings.  We can rest in the fact that though we don't know when, we know who to look to through it all.

I am reminded of a song from a band we followed in high school and college...Skillet. Below are the lyrics to a song one of my best buds, Laura, and I would sing to the top of our lungs while driving around Memphis.  It has come to mind so many times!

"More Faithful"

All the things my feet thought to be firm

Are falling with urgency

Tearing back my false sense of security

Some say things change, nothing stays the same

But the sweetness in my ears

Safe in your arms speak the words I love to hear

You have been more faithful than the morning sun

You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come

You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons

All things I thought that I used to know

Are falling down again

Our disillusionment is how we grow

Some say things change, nothing stays the same

In a world of inconsistency

When everything's a lie,

What can cause my heart to believe

You have been more faithful than the morning sun

You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come

You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons

You have been more faithful than the morning sun

You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come

You have been more faithful than the morning sun

You have been more faithful than knowing the night will come

You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons

 

I want to leave you with a passage that has comforted me so much in the past few months. I have a portion of it taped to my mirror in my bathroom....

 

"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.  Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Hebrews 4:14-16
