Great Is Thy Faithfulness

by

While rehearsing the classic hymn, “Great is Thy Faithfulness”, I found myself asking, “To what is God being faithful?” As I thought through all the ways God shows Himself faithful in my life, it occurred to me that above all, God is faithful to Himself. He is faithful to His character, which does not change (Numbers 23:19). The fact He never wavers to any degree is proof of His faithfulness.

That He is faithful to Himself assures us He will always be faithful in kindness, goodness, mercy, grace, love, and even in His wrath (James 1:17). God’s faithfulness is great because it is reliable, trustworthy, righteous, and altogether holy. When we sing, “Great is thy faithfulness,” we are praising God for His unchanging character, unwavering love, and unstoppable power.

Always Listening

With the number of apps and devices listening to everything you say, there is a growing concern about the death of privacy. It has been well-founded that many of these devices are listening even when you turn them off or restrict their permissions. Combine this with the growing number of cameras in your home and in public, and it’s safe to say privacy in modern cultures is a thing of the past.

Someone or something is always listening. Someone or something is always watching. This makes most normal people uncomfortable, to say the least. We don’t want our most intimate words and actions to be known. But this is nothing new. From the beginning, God was always listening and watching (Psalm 94:9). You have never said or done anything that escaped His awareness (Psalm 139:1-4).

Darkness

by

Something’s wrong in the world today. You can feel the darkness encroaching on every side. Many feel powerless to stop it. Worse still, too many don’t even know what to call the darkness. As followers of Christ, we recognize the problem as sin, but we are facing a generation who have grown up not understanding what the word even means.

For those who are a little older and grew up in a time when there was still a biblical foundation in our culture, it seems unfathomable that anyone would not understand what sin is. And yet, this is the world in which we find ourselves. The foundation of God’s Word and God’s laws have been stripped away, leaving us both ignorant and vulnerable to the darkness pervading our world.
