As 2023 comes to a close, we can take time to reflect on all the ways God has been faithful to us. God is always there for us when we seek His presence in prayer. His Holy Spirit is within us, giving us strength when we need it most. God is our constant companion when we converse with Him throughout the day and night. When we are lonely and our hearts are breaking, God is faithful to come to us and comfort us through our loss or grief. God is faithful.
God has been faithful to me in so many ways this year. Most consistently, I call upon God for guidance when I begin each blog. Usually I don't have a topic in mind to write about until God gives me one. I am always amazed that He puts in my mind a subject and a scripture twice a week. (I shouldn't be amazed. This is God we are talking about after all!) God is faithful.
God has heard my prayers for protection for my children and grandchildren. I cannot know how many times God has intervened on their behalf but I am so grateful. I have prayed for my friends and He has touched their lives with healing, comfort, grace, guidance, compassion and strength. God is faithful.
"God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful," (1 Corinthians 1:9 NIV).
Thank you, God, for knowing our hearts, and for blessing us with Your faithfulness, over and over again. You are great, Father, and we are so grateful for all the ways You have been faithful to us this year. Amen.
"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, Lord, unto me!" (Thomas O. Chisholm, 1923; William M. Runyan, 1923).
