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!
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
"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!
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
"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!
We sang it tonight at church and I started crying as we sang the last verse. God blesses us so richly. Someone had posted something on facebook the other day about how God was blessing them, had finally answered a prayer or something like that. My mom had commented on how God blesses us even when it's not necessarily the blessing we're wanting the most. We're still blessed even if we don't get what we think we need.
I pretty much figured out today that even though I was beginning to believe I was about to get the best birthday present ever (I was two and a half weeks "late"), I'm not. I was dealing with it, but wasn't happy. And then as we were singing that beautiful song, it helped me remember that I am blessed no matter what. Even though I want so badly to be a mommy, and even though I wanted it to happen before 30 (which is next week), I'm going to be blessed even if none of that ever happens. It hurts to think about it not happening, but even if it doesn't, I'm still majorly blessed.
We're waiting on my health insurance from work to kick in before going to any doctors or anything, in case you were wondering. Anyway, it's just been a long day and that song got to me. I still believe it and sing it with all my heart, but together with the sermon tonight (which was on Isaiah 43:1-7, a GREAT verse about how God is with us through every struggle and hardship), I got a good dose of reminding that God will help me through this disappointment just like all the others and that He is good all the time, even when it doesn't feel like anything in this life is going the way we had it planned.
Great is His faithfulness.
