- Constancy
We are facing difficult days, many we know and love suffer and there is much darkness and despair around us. We must fight the temptation to leave the path of truth for the sake of some prospect of hope of our own. It is not our understanding of the situation which can show us what is wise, but only the truth of the Word of God.
I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds.
-Psalm 77:11,12
It is easy to focus on the hardship and difficulties that fill our headlines and our hearts. But we do well to take to heart God’s command to reflect and remember all He has done for His people all that He has done for you and me. Find comfort that constancy, stability, and faithfulness are found alone in Him.
Want of trust is at the root of almost all our sins and all our weaknesses. How shall we escape it but by looking to him and observing his faithfulness? The man who holds God’s faithfulness will not be foolhardy or reckless, but he will be ready for every emergency. Abraham held God’s faithfulness and offered up Isaac, “accounting that God was able to raise him…from the dead” (Hebrews 11:19, KJV) Moses held God’s faithfulness and led the millions of Israel into the howling wilderness. “and what shall I more say?” for the time would fail me to tell” of those who, holding God’s faithfulness, had faith and by it “subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises…out of weakness were made strong. -Hudson Taylor
Lord, lifter of our heads and hearts help us to gaze upon your beauty and reflect on your faithfulness. Give us grateful hearts full of praise and thanksgiving. Amen
Capturing Moments 
Just what I needed to hear. You continue to be a great blessing to me at God’s perfect timing. It is such a short shift of the eyes to see God’s persistent love and care. The things I am always in thankful pray for, continue to be available and in abundance. Thanks for keeping me on track….OK, I guess it really was God working through you…but I really like it when you’re available to help Him.
