God is faithful to His people. He is trustworthy. He never changes. What encouragement and comfort God’s faithfulness is to us as we embark upon 2010.
As time seems to fly by and the world roils about in increasing turmoil, this is a steady, firm place to focus and rest—God is faithful! I am reminded of Isaiah 26:3-4—“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.”
And of this old hymn:
“Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day;
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.”
Refrain
“Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blessed;
Finding as He promised, perfect peace and rest.”
“Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care;
Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.”
“Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
They who trust wholly find Him wholly true.”
