The other night I was in adoration, and lamentations 3 came to me, so I started reading and I also came upon some of the psalms and I want to share with you a little of what the Lord has been speaking to me - and letting me know the promises He has made to be faithful.
The LORD’s acts of mercy are not exhausted, his compassion is
not spent;
They are renewed each
morning—great is your faithfulness!
The
LORD is my portion, I tell myself, therefore I will
hope in him.
The LORD is good to those who trust in him, to the one that
seeks him;
It
is good to hope in silence for the LORD’s deliverance. Lam. 3:22-26
Blessed
be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for battle, my fingers
for war; My safeguard and my fortress, my stronghold, my deliverer, My shield,
in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. LORD, what is man that
you take notice of him; the son of man, that you think of him? Man is but a breath,
his days are
like a passing shadow. Ps. 144:1-4
I will extol you, my God
and king; I will bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you; I
will praise your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD and worthy of much praise, whose grandeur is beyond
understanding. One generation praises your deeds to the next and proclaims your
mighty works. They speak of the splendor of your majestic glory, tell of your
wonderful deeds. They speak of the power of your awesome acts and recount your
great deeds. They celebrate your abounding goodness and joyfully sing of your
justice. The LORD is
gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy. The LORD is good
to all, compassionate toward all your works. All your works give you
thanks, LORD and your faithful bless you. They speak of the glory of
your reign and tell of your mighty works, Making known to the sons of men your
mighty acts, the majestic glory of your rule. Your reign is a reign for all
ages, your dominion for all generations. The LORD is trustworthy in all his words, and
loving in all his works. The LORD supports all who are falling and
raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look hopefully to you; you give them their food
in due season. You open wide your hand and satisfy the desire of every living
thing. The LORD is just
in all his ways, merciful in all his works. The LORD is near
to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. He fulfills the desire of
those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches
over all who love him, but all the wicked he destroys. My mouth will speak the
praises of the LORD; all flesh will bless his holy name forever and ever.
(Ps 145)
The Lord makes so many promises to us. He loves us so well. He provides for our every
need. Last weekend I was a leader for a women's day retreat (women's getaway) and one of my tasks was food for the day. I had planned to make dinner when we got there because I thought there was a full kitchen. We walk in and the first thing out of our mouths after finding the light switch was "where's the stove". We were having sweet potato black bean chili, and I needed a stove to make it. However, the beauty of soup is it can almost always be made in a crock pot. The thing was, most of the rest of the girls were on their way already (5 of us got there before everyone else to set up and decorate the facility). So we frantically start calling women who would be able to get us a crock pot. We get catch them just in time. They had already left, but weren't on the freeway yet, praise the Lord! So they were able to turn around and bring us 3 crock pots. Perfect. God provided crock pots and we were able to have a delicious dinner! Praise the Lord for He is faithful.. This may seem like a small thing, but we have to learn to see the Lord's faithfulness in small things so we can trust him in big things.
