There are times when our knowledge of what is true and our experiences seem to match up. Then there are times where they don’t, yet we have faith in the unseen. Then days, weeks, months arrive when what we know to be true seems vastly different to the lens we perceive the world through. Sometimes we can battle, other times we feel like lying in the dust.
This morning in during the singing in church, God laid some words on my heart. Initially, I thought they were just words for me but then felt they were words to share. I am aware, that ‘written’ is different to spoken but I hope this encourages you.
When my feet are slow Where my mind is turned away Where my heart is far from you You are faithful
Where darkness sets in Where the storms do rage Where faith is low You are faithful
When times are good Where your voice seems so near Where laughter has replaced all the tears You are faithful
Where experience and truth seem far apart Where brokenness & hopelessness batter my heart Where Victory seems a word unknown Still you are Faithful
Still you are faithful Still you are faithful Still you are God
and faithfulness is your name and it is written over me and it is written over you it is written over our church
Faithful one from beginning to end Faithful one Faithful one Faithful you are and Faithful are you and even when it seems it is not true It Is and You are faithful
I went on to encourage the church to sing again but that makes no sense without context – and besides, I can’t actually remember what I said!
I pray you see His faithfulness this week – L
