Choosing to believe: Great is Thy Faithfulness

December 29, 2009

Some days I wake up singing a song in my head and today it is “Great is Thy Faithfulness”:

Great is thy faithfulness, oh God my father;
There is no shadow of turning with thee;
Thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not;
As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be;
Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed thy hand hath provided,
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.

Even in my roller coaster emotions of life, I still see God’s hand at work, providing for me and my family in remarkable and simple ways.  Of course I can choose to believe that this is all a result of my intelligence, great planning, and hard work, but I know better.

Instead I choose to believe that it is God’s faithfulness and grace at work in our lives and in the world around us.
