Great is thy Faithfulness

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.

Psalms 36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Psalms 199:90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

It is very difficult to search the Bible and pick out a few good scripture because the Bible is filled with them. I have heard the saying, "Life does not come with a manual," but it does! The Bible is our road map or GPS, for the techno savvy, to the answers in life. I have prayed about what to write and God has placed upon my heart to talk about faithfulness. In this recession many people are pinching pennies and questioning where God is? Some have lost jobs, homes, cars and faith.
I love Deut 7:9." know therefore that the LORD thy God, HE IS GOD. To me, Moses, the author of Deut, leaves no room for question about the God that he was serving. He is telling the us that the God you and I serve IS God, not an idol created by mortal hands, but a God that created mortals. Moses goes on to write that God is THE faithful God. Moses was used by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Throughout this ordeal Moses and the people of Israel went through many trials and I can imagine that they wondered where God was? Through these trials God proved Himself faithful to those who loved Him. Don't focus on the bad economy and the negativity and get discouraged. Look at this situation and see it as an opportunity to see God's faithfulness and increase your faith in God. Remember God is always near Psalms 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit Meditate on his word and know that The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate; Psalms 34:22
