God is Faithful

I read on Sunday, Psm 37:3b 'Feed on His faithfulness'. The bible says to meditate on the Word of God. It is like the cow that chews her cud. Chewing the Word over and over again...then thinking about what it means to feed. A few ideas are -
1. We must avail yourself to where the food is.
2. We must choose to partake.
3. It becomes a part of us and needs to be digested.
4. It will change us within.
So I need to avail myself, I need to choose to partake and allow His faithfulness to be a part of me so I can digest and let it change me.
I began to 'Feed on His faithfulness' to me over the years. Thinking about salvation at age 9, faithfulness of His provision, faithfulness to deliver, faithfulness to protect me, faithfulness to lead me each step, faithfulness as Jehovah Ropheka my healer, faithfulness as a friend, faithfulness as Father, faithfulness as a counselor and on and on. Feeding on His faithfulness tends to get me excited just to think He cares and is concerned for every detail of my life.

I received an email from a former neighbor, Nancy, who lives in North Carolina. She lost her husband in August, 2003. She said the song 'Great is thy Faithfulness' has ministered to her since his death.

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.
David stated in Psalm 89:1...With my mouth I will make known your faithfulness.
Lam. 3:22-22-23 'Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassion fails not. They are new every morning; Great is thy Faithfulness.'
There are times we think about the negative things that are happening around us and not the Faithfulness of God and all the wonderful things that are ours. FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS TO YOU this day!

Hi Margo! I LOVE this blog and thank you for following the Holy Spirit's lead in starting it!! This topic is very timely in my life. Some not-so-good things happened to me recently at work for taking a stand and telling the truth about a particular situation. It amazes me though how God has been sooooo faithful to protect me and keep me in the palm of HIS hand regardless of the circumstances. HE truly is FAITHFUL to His children and I thank Him for the peace which passes all understanding in the midst of the storm. I thank Him for you too!! You are my forever treasured friend and I miss you BUNCHES!!! Love ya, Shell
