“FAITHFUL!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 503

December 1, 2020///

Lamentations 3:22-24 (KJV)
²² It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
²³ They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

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

December first, 2020, I want to encourage you with the truth of God’s FAITHFULNESS!!!

Each of us have had to make many adjustments this year because of the virus raging in our world.  Just as those who have gone before may we learn some valuable lessons during this time of change and confusion and unrest.

Our ancestors forged through wars and fought for freedoms and even in our lifetime we have seen tragedies such as the Twin Tower attacks and other senseless destruction of lives and property!

So, you may ask why does God allow this?  You must remember that we were created with a will that gives us choices.  God will not override our will.  When we choose to believe the enemy of all that is good and allow him to push us to evil, I believe God weeps. There will be a judgement on wickedness, but God desires to give people more time to repent.

As Christians we can walk in the assurance that God is Faithful and will fulfill His Promises.   But we must be a force for GOOD and Right!   We must pray that people’s hearts will be changed and turned toward a God who Loves them and desires the best for them.

We must show those all around us a better way to live. We must walk each day in the Power of the Lord God Almighty and with the conviction that He is Faithful!

2 Thessalonians 3:3 (KJV)
³ But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

Hebrews 10:23 (KJV)
²³ Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

David wrote in the Twenty-Third Psalm:  The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want!

I encourage you to put whatever you need this last month of 2020 at the end of that sentence!   I shall not want for health; I shall not want for provision to feed and provide for my family; I shall not want for Peace; I shall not want for Joy; I shall not want for friends; I shall not want for time with my family………what do you desire to put there?

If, we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and if we believe He is truly Faithful we should be able to walk in that truth and spread that truth to all who are around us through lives secure in the Faithfulness of our Creator God!

Are you worried, fearful, anxious? Then you are not grasping the truth of His Faithfulness! Time thinking on the scriptures will infuse you with truth!

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

This Peace, this Guidance, this Security is for us. We must receive it as we walk in a world that has gone away from Truth!  Our lives and our influence on others can spread the Peace and Faithfulness that flows from us.

I encourage you that if you do not have a church, do not attend the one you claim as your church because of covid-19 or just out of the habit, to push yourself to join with others either in person or on-line, to Worship the only one who can speak Peace!

There are multitudes of services on TV or on the Internet you can be a part of, even if you are concerned about being in a crowd!  But I caution you to beware of what you watch and listen to.  Make sure it is Truth from the Bible and it builds you up!

The word is life and joining together with others gives us strength to walk in Faith and Victory and be an example of Gods Faithfulness!

This December as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, may we truly grasp His Faithfulness and Love for us and rest in His promise of Peace, Joy and Victory!

The longer I live, the more I am sure that “HE IS FAITHFUL”!  

May you walk in the assurance of that truth!

Father, thank you that you are always Faithful to fill your children with peace and love and the security that only comes from you.  May all who read this take hold of the truth of your Faithfulness and Love that is beyond our understanding. You, Lord have been faithful to me even when I have not made good decisions. I thank you for that.  May we place all that we are and all that we will ever be in your loving, faithful care!  I ask this in Jesus name, the name above all names!  Amen

Have an awesome week!  Love, MeMaw
