Great Is Thy Faithfulness

"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 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," (Lamentations 3:21-23 NIV).

Good Morning. I love this scripture because I'm reminded of God's faithfulness to you and to me. His faithfulness is new every morning. That means today I wake up to a fresh, unencumbered day. If I could sing I would sing, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness".

"Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changes not, Thy compassions they fail not, As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. 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!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. 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!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! 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!"

Thomas O. Chisholm wrote these words in 1923 with William M. Runyan writing the music. What a magical way to start the morning - singing this song of God's faithfulness to us. I hope you are familiar with this song and can let it run through your mind all day. May everywhere you look, you see God's great beauty. Blessings to each of you.
